- TDR will automatically extract key technical metadata which becomes part of the catalogue entry for the record(s). This includes the filename, filepath, date last modified etc. and assumes some default values from the records you upload. Our digital archiving team will check that the dates extracted are still meaningful and that metadata provides context so that your records can be found and understood by our end users of Discovery. If this is not the case, they will get back to you with recommendations about ways to improve the metadata. This will help make your records easier to access by our Discovery users.

- The Digital Archiving team will attempt to complete the review and notify you of the outcome at their earliest convenience. It is difficult to say how long it will take as this is dependant on the number of reviews in progress, the volume of records within a file and the complexity of the metadata. If you are concerned that the metadata review has been ‘in progress’ for a while, please send an email to @Messages("nationalArchives.email") to get an update, quoting your consignment reference
