Subseries 11.4: Born-digital 1985-2011

Physical Description: 285 optical discs (CDs and DVDs with PSD, JPG, TIFF, MOV, VOB, and PDF files, among others); 3 floppy disks; 1 zip disk

Processing Information

Ishioka's digital materials were received on 285 optical discs (CDs and DVDs), 3 floppy disks, and 1 zip disk. The files from each optical disc were copied logically to our server, which caused the "Date Modified" of the folders on each disc to be altered to the date of processing rather than the true date of last modification (the "Date Modified" of the individual files, however, remains unchanged). Disk images were created for the floppy disks using KyroFlux 2.51. The files from the zip disk were copied to our server from the PC workstation via a zip drive. All files were reviewed using FTK 6.0 and ultimately processed and packaged for long-term preservation by Archivematica.

Scope and Contents

This sub-series contains files related to Ishioka's various design projects. Items include video, photographs, font and color selections, costume sketches, graphic renderings, storyboard renderings, research material, and production notes. Ishioka relied heavily on software such as Adobe Photoshop and QuarkXpress 4.0 to create her graphic renderings and layouts. Many of the files are selections of images of her various works for Eiko on Stage and Eiko by Eiko, as well as design elements for the two books. Ishioka was a frequent conference presenter and this sub-series includes several image selections for Ishioka's presentation slideshows. Personal photographs from trips, parties, and family gatherings are included as well.

Arrangement

The original file structure was maintained for all items.

Physical Characteristics and Technical Requirements

CONTAINS PROCESSED DIGITAL MATERIALS: Digital material will need to be viewed in the reading room on LSC's laptop. All requests to access special collections materials must be made in advance using the request button located on this page.
CONTAINS UNPROCESSED DIGITAL MATERIALS: Materials will require assessment and may need further processing for safe access. All requests to access special collections materials must be made in advance using the request button located on this page.

Appraisal

Ishioka reused many of the same reference images from project to project, particularly for presentation slideshows and her two books, Eiko on Stage and Eiko by Eiko. Duplicate images were retained in order to preserve their creative context.
