Last week AVPreserve
and the Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral
History announced the release of a new tool for born-digital acquisition
and delivery.
Building on work originally begun by the Gates Archive, the Nunn
Center and AVPreserve developed Exactly
to meet the growing need for archives to acquire born-digital content directly
from donors and to begin the steps for establishing provenance and
fixity early in the process of acquisition.
Read more about how the Nunn Center is using Exactly here.
Exactly is a simple and easy-to-use application for remotely and
safely transferring any born-digital material from a sender to a recipient.
Exactly utilizes the BagIt File
Packaging Format, supports FTP transfer as well as standard
network transfers, and integrates into desktop-based file sharing workflows
such as Dropbox or Google Drive. Additionally, Exactly allows the recipient to
create customized metadata templates for the sender to fill out before
submission. Exactly can send email notifications with transfer data and
manifests when files have been delivered to the archive.
