Processing Information

In 2018, a vendor, contracted by the University of Virginia, created the .mp4, .xml, .jpg, and .md5 files enclosed in the .tar file when they made digital copies of the original recordings on 3/4 u-matic cassette tapes. Archivists at the University of Virginia then used a local Python script and the DROID file format identification tool to create the .txt and .csv metadata files associated with the recordings.
