Documentation Policy and Content Management

The AMI Preservation Documentation Site is a static website. AMI Preservation staff will add documentation to the site via a repository on AMI Preservation’s GitHub that is designated for that set of documentation. A static site generator called Jekyll converts the raw text files that comprise the documentation (ie. Markdown files) to HTML, and the site files will be deployed to nypl.github.io/ami-preservation.

GitHub is a web-based hosting service that enables version-control of content, meaning that it records and saves the changes to files over time and enables users to recall specific versions of those files. Please refer to GitHub’s documentation guides for more information on Git and GitHub.
