About Archivematica

Archivematica is a free and open-source digital preservation system that is designed to maintain standards-based, long-term access to collections of digital objects. It uses a micro-services design pattern to provide an integrated suite of software tools that allows users to process digital objects from ingest to access in compliance with the ISO-OAIS functional model. Users monitor and control the micro-services via a web-based dashboard. Archivematica uses METS, PREMIS (events, agents, rights and restrictions), Dublin Core, the Library of Congress BagIt specification and other best practice standards and practices to provide trustworthy, authentic, reliable, and interoperable archival packages (AIPs) for storage in your preferred repository.

Download

Islandora module: https://github.com/discoverygarden/archidora

You may also download the alpha Archivematica: Archivematica 1.4.0 and Storage Service 0.0 release from Artefactual. They have tested it against an Islandora instance set up in their office, using the islandora-labs/islandora_vagrant git repo7.0 or later is required; download from http://www.archivematica.org.

Installation

Installation and testing is similar to any Drupal module. Please see Installing the Islandora Enhancement Modules for details.

Configuration

In the Archivematica Storage Space:

  • Create a Space with access protocol FEDORA via SWORD2; and create a Location within that Space (purpose = FEDORA deposits). The Fedora URL, username and password will need to be entered here.

On the Archivematica Dashboard:

  • Especially for larger processing queues, the Processing configuration tab should normally be configured so that no user intervention is required. See Archivematica documentation for more details.

In Islandora - configure Archidora, at admin/islandora/archidora

  • Archivematica Storage Service Base URL - normally http://archivematica-url:8000
  • Deposit Location - will be configured automatically once storage service URL is entered
  • Archivematica User - Archivematica dashboard user to be used for Islandora integration (not storage service)
  • Archivematica API Key - API key for the Archivematica dashboard user created above

The Archivematica's Storage Service URL, user and user's API key will have to be entered into this module's admin screen, at admin/islandora/archidora, and a Deposit Location selected. An API token should also be generated to allow Archivematica to call back to Islandora.In Fedora, the domain name of the server will have to be configured properly as well as a user created for

Archivematica . The user created in Fedora will have to be entered in Archivematica's configuration to be able to authenticate with Fedora, so to be able to pull datastreams.Archivematica may also be configured to call back to Islandora to delete the high-res "OBJ" datastreams. This is done in the Storage Service - Administration | Service callbacks

  • URI: http://islandora-base-url/islandora/object/<source_id>/archidora/{Islandora API}/delete
    • where the API key is the "Islandora Archivematica integration API key" listed/generated on the Archidora admin screen
  • Event: post-store
  • Method: post
  • Expected status: 200

Note: the OBJ datastreams are not deleted automatically, but rather are listed at the collection level (or compound object level) on the Manage | Archivematica tab. They can be deleted in bulk.

Cron must be enabled.

Note

As a side-effect of using Cron Queues, the submission of objects to Archivematica may not complete during any one invocation of Cron.

Collection-level configuration:

Check off "Don't Archive Children" to avoid objects being sent to Archivematica for a particular collection.
