Exporting Finding Aid Components From FTK

 

When a finding aid has been approved and the Bookmarks have been reviewed the contents of Bookmarks need to be exported to Digital Archives storage.

Create Finding Aid Component Folders

  • Open the case for the collection and navigate to the Bookmark tab.
  • Note how many finding aid components you have in the Bookmarks.

  • Open the WSL terminal and navigate to the mount point directory by entering cd /mnt

  • Any mounted drives should be accessible from the mount point directory. Drives you’ll see in /mnt include:
    • d - Sata Drive Bay
    • f - Storage for FTK
    • h - Open FTK cases
    • i - Codemeter access key
    • y - DigArchDiskStation
  • If the Y:\ drive is not visible in /mnt or /mnt/y appears to be empty then re-mount:
    • Change to the top level directory by entering cd /
    • Enter the command sudo mount -t drvfs Y: /mnt/y

$ cd /mnt/y/Staging/faComponents

$ mkdir -p CollectionID/CollectionID_ER_{first..last}/{metadata/submissionDocumentation,objects}

  • Change first to the number to begin making folders on and last should be the number to end on.
