No File Left Behind: The Great TMF Migration to Archive

Moving a TMF to archive should be predictable, complete, and auditable. In this session, Laurel-Ann Schrader and Laurie Myers share a start-to-finish playbook that safeguards metadata and links, preserves the audit trail, sets QC gates that catch issues early, and documents exceptions with a clear chain of custody so your archive stands up to inspection.

Key takeaways include:

- Building a defensible inventory and migration plan

- Protecting metadata and links across export, transfer, and ingest with validation

- Proving the archive through QC gates, exception reconciliation, traceability, and chain of custody
