1. Increase and maintain awareness of the existence and
evolution of forensic tools through examples of usage by small
and large archival institutions.
2. Put in place mechanisms for initial and ongoing training in
forensic theory and practice.

3. Establish clear open policies and guidelines for originators and
family and others specifically regarding privacy and evidence
protection.
4. Follow recognized forensic principles such as (i) not relying on
any single digital technology, and (ii) corroborating and
consolidating findings through a multi-evidential approach.
9.2. Customary Practice for Memory Institutions

5. Scope the feasibility of maintaining distinct lines between the
processing of overt, active information and the recovery of
ostensibly deleted, hidden information.
6. Ascertain means and ways for gauging the value of forensically
authenticated digital objects and the reliability of investigatory
tools in digital scholarship.
7. Explore and test the use of automation including digital
acquisition and hashing, bulk extraction, indexing, text
9.3. Ongoing Research and Development: Personal
Informatics

Learning by doing
IDs are hard
Software wasn’t made for us
Expect to have to be flexible
Pleasant surpises
Scale = effort
Distribute knowledge!
