This presentation will include a summary of findings from the report Digital Forensics and Born-Digital Content in Cultural Heritage Collections, published by the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) in November 2010, as well as from an associated symposium conducted at the University of Maryland in May 2010. This symposium and report, the first to bring together archivists and other cultural heritage specialists with professionals from the legal, law enforcement, and defense communities, is intended as an introduction to the growing convergence between forensic tools and procedures and the requirements of institutions acquiring and maintaining born-digital materials. Topics to be covered include theoretical models, forensics and archival workflows, examples of tools and technologies, data recovery, and the ethics of forensic analysis.
