We originally planned to analyse each file using a software tool that recognises file formats, such as DROID[1]. An initial test with DROID took so long, however, that this plan couldn’t be executed. Furthermore, it was also impossible to connect the old hard drives to the volunteer’s and the PACKED employee’s computers. This also meant that the software had to be installed on each old iMAL computer (with outdated operating systems).

  1. DROID is a useful tool that provides you with information about your digital file formats, which can identify digital files by recognising a large number of file formats for all sorts of applications (video, text, images, audio, vector graphics, databases).
