	If working with older data storage formats or digital material of unclear origin and features—especially when a history of the material and “chain of custody” need to be established—a promising area of development is '''[[Special:MyLanguage/Glossary of Key Terms and Concepts#Digital Forensics\|digital forensics]]''',” which provide benefits in addressing digital authenticity, accountability, and accessibility. This forensic technology can make it possible to identify privacy issues, establish a chain of custody for provenance, employ write protection for capture and transfer, and detect forgery or manipulation. It can also extract and mine relevant metadata and content, enable efficient indexing and searching by curators, and facilitate audit control and granular access privileges. Digital forensic technologies vary greatly in their capability, cost, and complexity, with certain equipment ranging from free to expensive. Some techniques are very straightforward to use, while others have to be applied with great care and sophistication. There is an increasingly rich set of open source forensic tools (e.g., “BitCurator”) that are free to obtain and use.
