Introduction
The Dark Archive Deaccessioning Project is the successor project to the Master Objects Migration Project, which for various reasons never saw completion. The sFTP server that is known as the “Dark Archive” is being sunsetted and decommissioned at the end of CY2023. As such, University Libraries is taking this opportunity to make final disposition decisions regarding content within the Dark Archive. There are three potential decisions:
Migrate to the Digital Collections: Items that will receive item level description, and meet digitization standards or with documented exception.
Migrate to Gray Digital Preservation Repository: Knowledge Bank preservation files, born digital collections and digitized collections with rights issues, temporal restrictions or other ad-hoc permissible exceptions.
Disposal: Items that cannot be attributed to a particular collection, inferior digitization quality or no clear University ownership or rights.
