For organizations working with documentation on human rights abuses, it is especially important to note that these derivative files are used for the creation of files with fully searchable textual content through OCR. The usual practice is for only master files to be stored for preservation purposes. However, given the importance of the OCR—and therefore fully searchable versions of documents—for human rights archives, it is advisable to also create and store two such readable files, one as an access copy and the other for preservation purposes. The same applies for the master files, as we should create at least two backup copies and store them on two separate storage media whenever possible.
