As we are working on developing our digital archives capacities we have been testing, evaluating, and trying out processes for managing digital archival material. Towards this end we have documented and created templates for acquisition, submission and archival processing tasks.
Shared here [PDF files] are our latest working-drafts of templates, visual process flows, written workflows, and task guides. We welcome your feedback and comment. These are created under a CC-BY-NC license as product of the MIT Libraries, Institute Archives and Special Collections staff.
