Processing Information
The born digital material was processed as though it were a separate component of the collection, based upon the processing plan for the collection. Original file structure was maintained. Some files were renamed in order to mitigate special characters in file names and to present a more coherent structure. All duplicates, temporary files, executable files, and database files were deaccessioned from the digital collection. Additionally, some specific folders were requested by AVI CHAI to be omitted, during processing. Both AJHS and Avi Chai have endeavored to remove Personally Identifiable Information from the archival materials, and have also imposed restrictions in order to protect the privacy of individuals. However, there may be Personally Identifiable Information in some of the collection materials, as well as material copyrighted to third parties. If found, researchers must omit personal details from any published materials, and researchers are also responsible for obtaining permissions to publish from the copyright holder in cases where Avi Chai is not the author.
