Finding Delivery URNs

After successful processing of the Archive function within DRS3, the original depositor will receive an email digest listing which objects failed or succeeded in the downstream processes to send a preserved object to Delivery. This email also lists the delivery URNs.

However, a curator or depositor might also wish to use a web interface to retrieve these URNs.

https://tools.lib.harvard.edu/urnlookup/

This tool allows a user to search delivery URNs using DRS3 Object URNs. For single URN searches, the user will just enter the relevant object URN and click “search”.

The tool will return the delivery URN(s) associated with that object. The tool also allows the option to download the results as a CSV for local use.

This tool also offers an option to perform a bulk search.

Upload a CSV or text file containing one OBJECT URN per line. The application will look up each URN and return a single CSV file containing the original submitted URN alongside its associated object and file URNs. Nothing is displayed on screen — the CSV is delivered as a download.

First column of each row is read as the URN; additional columns are ignored.
A header row of "urn" (any case) is detected and skipped.
Maximum 1,000 URNs and 1 MB per file.
Output columns: Submitted URN, Source, Type, URN, Status.
Status values: OK, INVALID_URN, NOT_FOUND, TRUNCATED, ERROR.
