Next-Level Appraisal and Arrangement.

Moving Objects Into Your Archiving Platform Shouldn't Be a Job Itself.

Upload is a necessary evil of most eArchiving workflows. Many existing alternatives make transferring your content in to your archiving platform slow, confusing and often force Archivists to adopt fragmented and inefficient workflows. Curate helps organisations save precious time and money by offering the perfect upload tools for every use-case.

• Lightning fast web-uploader
• Digital Archivists are used to slow, glitchy web-uploaders that can't handle more than a few files or a couple of gigabytes. Thousands of files? Tens to hundreds of gigabytes? No problem. Curate's web-uploader is so fast and stable it's almost hard to believe.
• Did we also mention you can send your depositors secure upload links to completely skip the grind of acquiring new collections?

• Secure FPT

• Local Mount
• Have a NAS stuffed with pre-ingest content lurking in the IT cupboard? Skip the upload and handle it at your convenience. *on-prem only, data transport also available.

• Data Transport (AWS Snowball)
• When you have terabytes of content and your need it in the cloud now, nothing is faster.

Simple Arrangement With a Fully-Featured File-Share Interface.

Why is arrangement such a disjointed process? Curate provides an immediately intuitive interface powered up with all the features you could need to effectively arrange your collections, all in one convenient place:

• Create, move and organise files and folders right inside Curate
• Curate gives you all the tools and utilities you're used to using in your current arrangement workflow, right in one location.

• Edit non-preservation files live
• Switching windows constantly is rubbish. Create notes, lists, spreadsheets and collaborate with your colleagues directly in Curate.

• One-touch ZIP and TAR compression, extraction.
• Putting some objects on ice for a while? Need to extract your depositors submissions? Check.

• Create Conformant SIPs In Seconds
• Curate features built in package templates for many common SIP formats, just plug in your appraised content and preserve.

• Drag-and-drop and GUI navigation
• While designing Curate, we couldn't decide whether drag-and-drop or good old click menus were the way forwards. You shouldn't have to make that decision, so we did both. Work the way you want to.

Understand Your Objects Faster With Intelligent Appraisal.

Why should Archivists be forced to waste time on automatable tasks, or have critical preservation decisions taken out of their control by heavy-handed vendors? Curate makes appraisal shockingly quick and simple by automating the right things.

It's impossible to talk about all our appraisal features, but here's some highlights:

• Automatic pre and post-upload checksum verification
• Unique to Curate, never worry again about file-verification. Seriously.

• Automatic virus-checking, powered by ClamAV
• Faultlessly thorough, trusted by thousands. Just a bit smarter. Every file in Curate is automatically quarantined to guarantee safety from malicious data.

• Automatic metadata extraction, format identification, characterisation
• Curate uses Siegfried, PRONOM and intelligent tools to automatically generate rich and complete identification and characterisation information about your objects.

Description Made Simple. Finally.

Digital Archivists spend a huge amount of time describing their records and building taxonomic hierarchies, but are often forced to waste resources on non-critical tasks that their software should handle for them, or hampered by bad or slow interfaces. Curate streamlines descriptive metadata so you can preserve more of your collections faster.

• Easily Describe Anything.
• It takes only one or two clicks to start writing DC or ISAD descriptive metadata records for any object or folder, or to view it later.

• Tools That Make Your Life Easier.
• Clone, copy or edit your metadata records between files to cut down on time spent copying and pasting

• Described Filesystem
• Curate lets you apply descriptive metadata to any file or folder, enabling you to create any number of infinitely detailed taxonomies with absolutely no restrictions.

• We Do The Boring Stuff For You
• Time spent encoding metadata, managing ingests, copying records and poring over METs documents means less time doing the important stuff. Curate automatically manages your descriptive metadata and ensures it is properly encoded and referenced in your ingests.
