Processing information:

Material in this collection was processed using AXAEM's Electronic Records Processing module, which incorporates Bagger as a way to package electronic files with technical metadata. Captured digital content was ingested into AXAEM, where ClamAV Anti-Virus software detected and cleaned any computer viruses. The cleaned files were saved on the Duke University Medical Center Archives' secure server with a regular backup schedule. Includes 9356 files totaling 9.6 GB that are available for research: Accession A2022.012 (9356 files totaling 9.6 GB).
Due to the large extent of the accession, files were reviewed and processed with the assistance of Linux supported computer software. Computer assisted processing involved deduplication (Fdupes), sensitivity review (Bulk Extractor), and file name review (Bulk Rename Utility). Not every individual file has been reviewed by the processing archivist, so there may exists some errors, incongruities, or limited descriptive information about some of the ingested content.
Duplicate files were identified and removed during processing. If special characters or spaces occurred in the original file names, these characters were replaced with an underscore. Information about the original file directory and file names can be found in bagged files titled tree_output and A2022_012_Media_Inventory.
