Short Paper: "A Tartan Rather Than a Plain Cloth": Building a Shared Workflow to Preserve the Regional Ethnology of Scotland Project Archive

Abstract

This paper provides a case study of a shared workflow to preserve the oral history recordings created through the Regional Ethnology of Scotland Project. This workflow has been developed as the first production run of a semi-automated integration of Archivematica at the Centre for Research Collections (CRC) at the University of Edinburgh. This experience demonstrates that digital preservation, above all, is about people and to succeed requires the input of a range of perspectives and skillsets.
