Basic Operations

Before you do anything, you'll need access to your institution's S3 buckets and to APTrust's Web UI. See Getting Started for more information.

Once you're set up, these topics cover most of what you need to know for basic operations:
  • Bagging describes what constitutes a valid APTrust bag.
  • Ingest describes the ingest process.
  • Restoration describes the restoration process.
  • Deletion describes the process of deleting generic files and intellectual objects.
  • Partner Tools describes some useful tools for validating bags and interacting with S3.
  • Member API describes how to programmatically retrieve information from APTrust.
