Acknowledgments: This work was supported through a National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) supplement to the National Science Foundation Cooperative Agreement (NSF) TERAGRID: Resource Partners, OCI-0504077. Access to the National Archives and Records Administration test-bed collections in the Transcontinental Persistent Archives Prototype (TPAP) is courtesy of The Center for Advanced Systems and Technologies (NCAST) at NARA. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is charged with ensuring continuous access to government records. Digital archival collections are diverse in nature, presenting multiple media types organized in diverse arrangements that serve the purposes of the many authors, software, and hardware involved in their creation. To preserve and provide access to electronic records collections, archivists need first to conduct a series of analysis with purposes of discovering their structure and content, and to make decisions about their long-term preservation needs. Our research examines information visualization for archival analysis and long-term preservation planning of terabyte size collections. |
