Workflow Description[edit]

Preservica Ingest at CMIP21


Purpose, Context and Content[edit]

The digital collection at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 contains almost 70TB of AV, images and digital items. This workflow was developed to transfer our preservation and access copies from NAS and LTO tape storage to a digital preservation system, namely Preservica.

Evaluation/Review[edit]

This is version 1 of our general Preservica ingest workflow. Future iterations will look in more detail at specific assets types, and address slight differences in the ingest workflows between AV and Images, for examples.
