Inventory of Hypatia Collections

Stanford

Stephen Jay Gould

The collection was re-processed due to a change in storage location and new ideas on relationships between files and EAD.

Processed files are currently stored in

\\sul-wallaby\ForensicsLab\01-OBJECT_POOL\M1437 Stephen Jay Gould\Gould 06_27_2011

and in Sul-Brick/sulguest/Stanford/Gould 06_27_2011

Directory Structure is as follows:

• Computer Media Photo
• EAD
• FTK html
• FTL xml
• Logical Image
• Transit Solution

"FTK html" folder is used to store report from AccessDataFTK in html.

"FTK xml" folder is used to store report from AccessDataFTK in xml.

"Logical Image" folder is used to store the logical images and the audit logs of disk imaging.

"Transit Solution" folder is used to store the html version of the original files created by Transit Solution.

Xanadu

A Collection consists of 6 hard drives. A Marc record for the collection is available in SearchWorks; a very basic finding aid describes the contents of the collection.

Contents of the collection are currently stored on \\sul-wallaby\ForensicsLab\01-OBJECT_POOL\M1292 Xanadu

Xanadu EAD and Hypatia fixture objects

Directory Structure is as follows:

• Disk Images
• Photo Images of Drives
• EAD

The Disk Images folder contains 3 forensic disk images from 3 physical hard drives.  The forensic disk images are named CMxx.dd with the "CM" standing for computer media.  This folder also contains two additional metadata files for each forensic disk image.  The first is a .txt file that contains technical metadata about the forensic imaging process (example CM01.001\). The second is a .csv file that lists the partitions and files contained on the hard drive (example CM01.001\). This file also contains the root path, creation dates, and whether the file was deleted on the media and subsequentially recovered.

The Photo Images of Drives folder contains digital photographs of the source media (JPEG), in this case images of the front and back of the harddrives.

The EAD folder contains the Encoded Archival Description file for the Xanadu collection (example EAD\). This file currently does not contain any pointers to where the hard drives are physically located in the collection. We are also currently missing reference identifiers to the computer media in the finding aid. I believe this is just an oversight but I'm following up with Special Collections to determine why they are missing.

What I have to submit is some EAD for the Cheuse collection, and 4 zip files which match the id number of <co2> elements in the EAD. The zip files contain images of each disk and pdf files. I can't actually image the disks...I don't have the hardware yet. For the purposes of the tests, what I did was: 

1. Took pictures of the floppies
2. Created a  directory structure that matched the structure in the EAD and put the images of each disk in the appropriate folder
3. Added a dummy pdf to each folder
4. Zipped up each folder and ran it through Rubymatica which:
   1. unzips
   2. Creates some technical metadata within a METS.xml file
   3. Rezips

 So the .zip archives included .txt, .xml, .jpg, and .pdf files

Files transferred via external hard drive/USB pen drive so no physical media to photograph
