    Hello: We are reviewing local practices in my institution, including revising and updating transfer workflows. I'm wondering if the community is saving original carriers after transfer of digital files onto a Cloud based repository. Is there a general consensus about this or, better yet, guidelines that have been published to help us with our decision making?

    Feel free to reach out to me offline if that works better for you. I am happy to anonymize and share with the full list.
    Thanks in advance for any information you can provide - Emily Holmes
