Archivematica allows the ingest of the Library of Congress Bagit format. Users can ingest both zipped and unzipped bags. Bags must be packaged in accordance with the Bagit specification.

• To ingest a zipped bag, user selects transfer type "Zipped bag" from the dropdown menu in the transfer tab of the Dashboard. Do not add the directory that the zipped bag is in from the browse dialog, just select the zipped file (.zip). Note that you cannot add a new title to the zipped bag transfer, but you can add an accession number. (figure 1)
• To ingest an unzipped bag, user selects transfer type "Unzipped bag" from the dropdown menu in the transfer tab of the Dashboard. You may add a new name or accession number to this unzipped bag. (figure 2)
