Digital forensics tools and methods can support a variety of important archival tasks. There are two needs that are not addressed by software designed for the digital forensics industry: incorporation into the workflow of archives/library ingest and collection management environments, and provision of public access to the data. The BitCurator project is an effort to develop a system specifically for collecting professionals that incorporates the functionality of many open source digital forensics tools. We have developed the BitCurator environment, which is freely available and can be run directly in Linux or as a virtual machine on other platforms (Windows and Mac). Kam Woods and Cal Lee will cover the basic functionality of the BitCurator environment and several features that are currently under development.
