General description

During ingest, access copies of digital objects are generated and packaged into a DIP (Dissemination Information Package). The user uploads the DIP to the access system

Default access system

An information management tool called Qubit is bundled with Archivematica as a default access system. Qubit supports standards-compliant hierarchical archival description and digital object management. A small amount of sample data has been added to Qubit, including the Vancouver City Clerk fonds (figure 1).

Upload DIP

In this example, we will upload a DIP to the sample description shown in figure 1. This assumes that the user has processed a SIP and generated a DIP from it.

1. In the ingest tab, select "Upload DIP" in the upload DIP Actions drop-down menu (figure 1').
