Shipping Hard Drives

When you are unable to send files via Google Drive you can ship a hard drive with completed packages to NYPL. See Bagging Files.

  • Complete any Review process needed with the curator/manager before sending files.
  • Contact Digital Preservation and the curator/manager you are working with to confirm that you will be shipping a hard drive.
  • Choose a carrier like UPS or FedEX. Ask if you would like to use another carrier.
  • Include shipping charges in your invoice.
  • Place the hard drive in a box with packing material so that the hard drive fits snuggly.
  • Create a shipping label and return label.
    • Place the return label in the box with the drive.
    • Address the package to LSC. Digital Preservation staff will send the address when you email.
  • Arrange for carrier pick up or drop off.
  • Digital Preservation will ship the drive back using the enclosed return label.
