* Initial focus was upon research datasets. 
* The work was carried out during the 2016/2017 academic year.
* The Ruby gem 'Preservation' was developed. This workflow is outlined in the accompanying README.


==Evaluation/Review==
<!-- How effective was the workflow? Was it replaced with a better workflow? Did it work well with some content but not others? What is the current status of the workflow? Does it relate to another workflow already described on the wiki? Link, explain and elaborate -->
* It worked!
* The pain points were failed transfers, although this was mitigated to some extent by a reporting feature built into the Preservation gem.
