Abstract

This article chronicles the development of a streamlined workflow for state agencies to follow when transferring electronic public records to the State Archives at the Wisconsin Historical Society. The workflow, which utilizes an open source application and SFTP (Secure Shell File Transfer Protocol) for remote transfers, was developed to establish a secure and standardized process for transfers to replace the ad hoc manner of earlier transfers. The authors describe the genesis of the workflow and the significant challenges faced during implementation, including differences in technology usage and organizational culture, and they discuss the lessons learned from the project and plans for future work.
