All, I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has recently taken on a media migration project, e.g., retrieving legacy digitization output files from data CDs and DVDs, external hard drives, etc., for transfer to live disk and/or tape. I'm particularly interested in what sort of transfer stations other institutions have built for this purpose. I do not yet have an exhaustive inventory of what media we might be working with, but we suspect it's predominantly CDs burned over a 15 year period. The formats are primarily image files, although there are of course audio, video, PDF, and text files as well.
