About the Webinar
This webinar, offered exclusively to institutional members of the BitCurator Consortium, will introduce you to the BitCurator environment. The motivation is to familiarize participants with the underlying technology, rationale for its development, what it does, how it works, and IT support implications of adopting the software.

BitCurator is a free and open-source digital forensics software environment for libraries, archives, and museums to acquire and process born-digital materials. It can be installed as a Linux environment; run as a virtual machine on top of other operating systems (Windows, Mac, Unix/Linux); or run as individual software tools, packages, support scripts and documentation. Among its many functionalities, the BitCurator environment allows individuals to create forensic disk images, perform data triage tasks, analyze and report on file systems, identify personal and sensitive information (such as social security numbers or credit card information), and enables the capture and export of technical metadata.
