Implementing Rosetta at the Getty Research Institute: “Migration” from DigiTool – Discovery through Primo

Abstract

The Getty Research Institute’s Digital Collections provide free access to materials ranging from the fifteenth century to the present and include digitized photographs, manuscripts, archival material, audio and video. This presentation will explain our migration process from DigiTool to Rosetta, deposit workflow, digital object structure, and content discovery through Primo. It will include a healthy serving of lessons learned and issues encountered/resolved during our transition. We hope the presentation will contribute to the community knowledge-base and help to make the learning curve for implementation of a digital preservation system if not less steep at least less daunting for institutions like ours without a dedicated digital preservation specialist.
