# Accessioning
Accessioning consists of taking legal, administrative, and physical custody of digital material to be transferred to the lab. Accessioning born-digital material includes verifying that the acquisition has been properly documented, validating the material’s completeness and fixity, and the creating an inventory in CMS to support collection management and project planning.
Accessioning consists of taking legal, administrative, and physical custody of digital material to be transferred to the lab. Accessioning born-digital material includes verifying that the acquisition has been properly documented, validating the material’s completeness and fixity, and then creating an object record in SPEC to support collection management and project planning.

Accessioning of digital material is usually done by Collection Management.

Processing archivists create SPEC object records for additional carriers found during processing.

# Introduction

When digital media is encountered during accessioning of archival collections separate boxes of media are prepared for transfer.
Digital carrier separation procedures are detailed in this document. The workflows may vary based on media types encountered but the general steps are as follows:

|When commercial software is present do not enter it in CMS or label it. Send commercial software as is to Digital Preservation.|
* Remove digital carriers from folders and boxes.
* Create a SPEC object record for each carrier.
* Label digital carriers.
* Fill out Digital Carrier Separation sheets.
* Place Digital Carrier Separation sheets where carriers where found.
* House digital carriers.
* Inform Digital Archives of digital carriers.

Digital media separation procedures are detailed in this document. The workflows may vary based on media types encountered but the general steps are as follows:

1. Open the collection record in CMS.
2. Determine the identification number.
3. Label media.
4. Create a media log record.
5. Fill out a digital media separation form.
6. Create a shelving card and shelve the media.
When digital carriers are encountered during accessioning of an acquisition, Collection Management performs the digital media separation.
If there are 400 or more digital carriers in an acquisition, Digital Preservation staff may need to assist.

## 1. Open the collection record in CMS.
When digital media is encountered during processing of archival collections, the processing archivists perform the digital media separation.

* Open CMS and locate the collection that you will be working with. Navigate to the electronic records view through the collection management screen.
|When commercial software is present, staff should send it as is to Digital Preservation without inventorying or labeling.|

## 2. Determine the identification number.
## Remove digital carriers from folders.
* House digital carriers in boxes separate from other material.

|Use this process when you are not using barcodes to label media.|
## Create a SPEC object record for each carrier.
* Create an object record in SPEC for each carrier according to Collection Management practices.
* Note the acquisition number and the SPEC object ID number. Both are needed to create the ID label.
* ACQ_acqID_specObjectID ```ACQ_12345_54321``` is the carrier ID used by Digital Preservation.

Create an identification number for a digital media object using
4 elements:
In the image of a SPEC object record below the SPEC Object ID is circled in top left and acq ID is circled in bottom right.

* A letter (M is used for collections.)
```M```
![Screenshot of SPEC object record with SPEC object ID circled in top left and acq ID circled in bottom right](digitalmediaseparation/media/SPEC_DEMO.png)

* The collection number from CMS
```1087```
|Label transcript is an optional field. If you want to transcript a label you can enter text as it appears on the label. You can enter ```[illegible]``` for words you can't decipher.|

* A dash
```-```
## Label carriers.

* A sequential number of the object padded to 4 digits
```0001```
* For floppy and zip disks, print the label with ACQ_acqID_specObjectID and affixed it to the media.

* When there are no media objects in the
collection log the sequential number will be 0001. Objects already recorded in the log will be listed in
the right hand column. The sequential number will be the next number
that hasn't been allocated. For example, the
tenth object in manuscript collection ```1087``` would be labeled:
```M1087-0010```.

The id numbers Digital Preservation uses are only for differentiating one disk from another. Sequence is only relevant for counting a number of disks. This method of id may be deprecated.
{: .label .label-red }
* For Optical media (CDs, DVDs), print the label with ACQ_acqID_specObjectID.
* House CDs or DVDs in a sleeve or case if they are not housed.
* Rehouse CDs or DVDs that are cased together, unless the case is designed for multiple discs.
* Affix the label to the sleeve or case.

## 3. Label media.

* For floppy and zip disks, print the number in ink on a new
label and affixed it to the media. Labeling media with a P-Touch is best.

* For Optical media (CDs, DVDs), print the number
on the media's plastic hub using a using a medium point Sharpie pen. House CDs or DVDs in a sleeve or case if they are not housed. Rehouse CDs or DVDs that are sleeved/cased together into individual sleeves or cases, unless the case is designed for multiple CDs or DVDs.

* Make sure no label adhesive sticks to moving parts of the media. Many media types have shutters, gates, or spools that need to move freely to work. Covering a shutter or other moving part with a label can damage the disk and the drive used to read media.

* Check in with Digital Preservation staff to discuss labeling other media types.

## 4. Create a media log record.

Enter the following
information in the media log page for the collection.

* id

* Enter the identification number for the media.

* media format

* Enter or select the appropriate media type (for example: 5.25 inch floppy disk,
3.5 inch floppy disk, CD-R, DVD-R, zip disk, hard drive, flash drive).

* See [Identifying Digital Media](../sitevisits/identifying-digital-media){:target="_blank"} for media types.
![](/digitalmediaseparation/media/image4.jpg) -->

* floppy density
## Fill out a digital carrier separation form.

* Select the appropriate floppy disk density from the drop down if available. Leave blank for other media types.
| Processing archivists should skip this step. They should remove any separation sheets before arrangement is finished and the colleciton is shipped.|

* manufacturer

* Enter manufacturer of the media if known.

* serial number (hd)

* Enter the serial number if the media object is a hard disk drive. Leave blank for other media types.

| Label transcript is an optional field. If you want to transcript a label you can enter text as it appears on the label. You can enter ```[illegible]``` for words you can't decipher.|

* Enter the object's identification number and collection. Circle the
format on the form. Enter the correct
format after the word Other if the format is not listed. Print the form on BLUE
paper (for visibility) and place it in the object's previous container.
