Oral History Recordings and Jackson Metadata Mapping

EAD finding aid will be the primary discovery method – DSpace is just the place we’re parking files to keep them safe.  All of the Jackson collection will be locked down due to rights issues.

Files will go in DSpace collection:

University Libraries > Special Collections > Henry Jackson Archive

There will be two .wav files uploaded with each record – the preservation master (96/24) and use copy (44.1/16).  Users will have access to this collection on cd in Special Collections.

While the Jackson collection will not be using author, publisher, subject fields, or linking to the EAD record, they have been included here so that this might serve as a general template for oral history recordings in general.

File naming: Files should be named by <unitid>, a unique name consisting of the old accession numbers, followed by the sampling rate.

For example:  3560_15_12_96kHz.wav     or      3560_15_12_44kHz.wav

If the original recording was very long and the digitized version has been broken up into two parts, the files should be named as follows:
3560_15_12_pt1_96kHz.wav     or           3560_15_12_pt1_44kHz.wav
3560_15_12_pt2_96kHz.wav     or           3560_15_12_pt2_44kHz.wav
