As you are appraising/processing the materials, information about the materials needs to be added to the New Accessions/Accruals tracking list. Things to keep in mind:
The archivist responsible for accessioning the material will add specific processing instructions to the “Action to be Taken” column.
If you are processing, make sure to update this form to record processing actions taken and make a note once the files have been processed and are ready for ingest into Medusa.
It is important to record accession information as soon as possible to best allow for efficient and consistent processing.
When multiple collections are being processed at the same time, it can be helpful to keep track of which steps have been completed in the processing workflow for which materials. Use the Example Digital Processing Spreadsheet to track these steps. NOTE: Do not use the "Medusa Setup" columns until after being trained on the Medusa Ingest process by Digital Preservation.
