Preservation activities (e.g. specialized data recovery services) under the direction of
the Electronic Records Archivist (requires the use of a signed transfer form)

form)
All media should be clearly marked with the accession number and/or collection name.
Label bands or dedicated storage boxes with labels are preferred. Avoid directly labeling
the media if possible.
If there is an unavoidable delay in transferring the data to the secure network storage, a record
for the data will be added to the electronic media transfer queue so that the need for the
transfer is documented and attended to in a timely manner.

Used only by permission of the Electronic Records Archivist
Shall be cleared only after transfer to ITS secure network storage has been verified and
then only by the Electronic Records Archivist
