Abstract

Beginning in 2014 Stanford University Libraries has made dramatic changes in how it operates its Born-Digital / Forensics Labs (BDFLs). The goal has been a shift from a boutique lab operated by a single digital archivist to a production service that can handle digital collection materials and patron requests in bulk. This paper will outline Stanford's new practices and will include a discussion of how we budget, staff our labs, track our work, configure our hardware / software workstations, and generate statistics to support the preservation of our research collections.
