Repository Processing processing as advised by Imaging Services:

  • An ALMA record was created
  • PDF files were rename to [ALMA_ID]_yyyymmdd#.pdf (e.g., 8-7-58_2 (afternoon).pdf => 99155187868203941_195808072.pdf)
  • A structural mapping spreadsheet was created by the repository


Imaging Services Processing processing and Depositingdepositing:

  • The donor agreement was saved as a PDF object, and deposited.
  • The bitonal TIFF files were exported from each PDF file to a folder named from the PDF filename.
  • OCR files were generated from these TIFF files.
  • A batch was prepared and deposited.

...

  • A NET holding was added in ALMA by the repository

Fee: $50/batch
