# 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```. | ||
<img src="digitalmediaseparation/media/acqid_floppy.jpg" width="40%" /> | ||
|
||
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. | ||

## 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.| | ||
