Digital files from hard drive

Karla Irwin minimally processed the born-digital materials on the hard drive and subsequently entered descriptive information into ArchivesSpace in 2015.

A screen capture was created for the files in the Ros-Lehtinen Reform Bill folder in place of the JPGs, PNGs, GIFs, CSSs, JSs (JavaScript), HTMs, and SWFs. The original files supported the rendering of a Huffington Post website article titled "Ros-Lehtinen Hijacks Pro-Israel Support for Extreme Anti-UN Bill." The article and first page of comments were fully captured in the screen shot. The original files are preserved on the hard drive.

Unless otherwise noted, all files were converted to PDFs for access. Personal phone numbers, home addresses, and email addresses were redacted in the PDF files. One XLS file was converted to read only. Video files (VOB only, as BUP and IFO files contained no significant content) were converted to MP4. As of November 2015 MODI files have not been converted for access. Empty folders were deleted in the access directory. Finally, because conversions to new file formats result in a last modified date change, screenshots of file directories with the correct last modified date are included in each access folder of the collection.
