Next steps
Once you have transferred your files using on of the the workflows above, you have a couple options.
- If you will be unable to process the content within 30 days, proceed to the Preparing for Archivematica section and ingest the content into Backlog in Archivematica. Once you are ready to process the files, if your content falls with that described in step 2 below, continue processing it from Backlog. If it is more complex, download a copy from Backlog and follow step 3.
- If the material is straightforward or very small and ready for processing through Archivematica (no surveying, appraisal, arrangement, or preservation actions like disk image extraction needed) proceed to Preparing for Archivematica section if you are ready for that. Once the content is in preservation storage, you can begin the Description section of this manual when adding information to the finding aid.
- If the material is more complex, proceed to the Surveying section of this manual and follow the instructions there.
