* '''Legacy File Identification/Appraisal''' (Matthew McKinley): My topic comes in two parts: 1. Files older than 8-10 years are often initially inaccessible for a variety of reasons--outdated/unsupported creating software, unreliable extensions/naming, lack of technical metadata--and thus are often not identified or mis-identified by identification/characterization software such as JHOVE, DROID, Tikka etc. What can be done to improve their identification? 2. Once identified, is there a way for these files to be viewed/appraised/searched by "non-techie" archivists without proprietary software (FTK) or complex CLI manipulation (AFFLib)?
