How to Use Fixity and BagIt for Digital Preservation

What’s the digital equivalent of storing archival materials in acid-free folders? Fixity. In this recorded webinar, we explore the concept of fixity—how archivists ensure that digital files remain unchanged and intact over time. You'll also learn about the BagIt system, a widely used method to help preserve digital files by packaging them in “bags” that include both the data and essential metadata. Sometimes called “enclose and deposit” or “bag it and tag it,” BagIt is a powerful tool for maintaining file integrity and context in digital preservation workflows. 🎓 Whether you're new to digital archiving or looking to refine your practices, this session will give you practical insights into fixity checks and the BagIt approach.
