[ARSCLIST] Transcripts in archives

[Ganesh.Irelan@xxxxxxxx]

I would like to hear from those of you who have both audio/video recordings and transcripts of those recordings in your holdings.  Specifically, I am trying to establish what the status of a transcript should be within an archives.  By that I mean, are transcripts considered archival objects in the same way that the AV recordings are?  Are they considered equal to the AV recordings?  Are they file copies maintained for reference/access purposes only?  In OAIS terms, are they Content Information, Representation Information, or something else?

Thank you in advance for your responses.
Sincerely,
Kevin Irelan
