TEST. This website documents the University of Illinois Archives’ born digital workflow, covering policies and procedures for acquiring, accessioning, appraising, arranging, describing, and providing access to born digital material and digital surrogates. Steps for staging, ingesting, and retrieving born digital content from the Medusa digital preservation repository for reference and patron requests are also included. The workflow and procedures outlined here are based on the University Archives' current procedures for processing digital content as well as the Simple E-Records Preservation and Action Plan (from the Practical E-Records blog).
