Improving the Archival Tools of NRAO

In this project, we cataloged and scientifically characterized the data archives of two retired NRAO single dish telescopes and investigated the tools and techniques of archival research. The project involved creating a strategy for long-term data curation and access. We successfully updated the original data found by writing and using original software along with using software already in existence. Each of the files of all the archives had the proper metadata extracted in order to render the data searchable.
