Using ePADD for Email Preservation: Implementing the ePADD+ Project Enhancements

Abstract

For decades, email has been a ubiquitous and critical record of humanity. The ePADD+ project enhanced the open source email archiving tool, ePADD, with new features supporting effective long-term preservation, including additional format eligibility, retention of original order, format normalization, preservation and provenance metadata, and export for archival repositories. In this tutorial, attendees will learn about the new functions offered in ePADD and how they are implemented in the workflows of the ePADD+ partner institutions. Authors will do a live demonstration of the tool, utilizing the new functions and guiding attendees through optional hands-on participation. The authors will engage attendees in a broader discussion around the future development road map for ePADD and strengthening the sustainability of the community supported tool.
