General description

If an institution has created master and derivative digitized objects, Archivematica can recognize the relationships between them and generate a DIP from access copies included in the transfer.

1. Create a structured transfer directory (see Transfer).
2. In the objects directory, create a subdirectory called access (no capitalization).
3. Place the master digital objects in the objects directory.
4. Place the access copies in the access directory. Note: the master and access copies must have the same filename, although the extensions can be different. For example, image-1.tif (master) and image-1.jpg (access).
5. Process the transfer.
6. At the normalization step, choose "No normalization".
7. Archivematica will keep the master digital objects in the AIP and generate a DIP from the copies in the access folder.
8. If there are also service copies (for example, intermediate-state video formats that may be edited versions of the master copies), in the objects directory create a subdirectory called service (no capitalization). Place the service copies in this subdirectory. As with the access copies, the filenames must match those of the master objects.
9. Process the transfer as before, choosing "No normalization".
10. The service copies will be retained along with the master objects in the AIP and Archivematica will capture their derivation relationships in the AIP METS file.
