Archiving databases: Why, what and how?

This eArchiving Initiative webinar, presented by Koit Saarevet of the National Archives of Estonia, examines the practical aspects of database archiving, focusing on the methodology and tools used in production environments. Databases pose unique preservation challenges due to their complex structures and dynamic nature. This webinar presents the approach used by The National Archives of Estonia, covering the complete workflow from appraisal to archival storage. The webinar addresses: • The legal framework and appraisal criteria for databases • An overview of database models (relational, NoSQL) and their implications for archiving • The 9-step archiving process: initiation, kick-off meeting, database cloning, test extractions, appraisal, final extraction, documentation, and completion • SIARD format introduction and a peek inside • Database Preservation Toolkit (DBPTK): introduction, different ways of using it • Required metadata and technical documentation The webinar includes demonstrations of DBPTK for creating SIARD packages, using both the GUI tool and the command line. You will also learn how to view archived database snapshots and experience the difference in complexity of searches between SQL queries on a live database and the all-fields-indexed search in the DBPTK desktop. This content is designed for archivists and IT professionals responsible for preserving database content in their organisations.
