3. DEVONTHINK PRO OFFICE TRIAL ARCHIVE

Let’s imagine I’m spending the day at Argentina’s National Library.

DEVONTHINK PRO OFFICE TRIAL ARCHIVE

When I’m at the archive itself, the Archives header is, unsurprisingly, where most of the action is. Random/Interesting is self-explanatory, and Teaching Aids are where I put things that may be helpful for teaching all of this when I’m back home. Notebook is where I take notes and organize documents in ways that cut across multiple archives. Logistics is home to information about the infrastructure of academic life - fellowships, grants, conference funding, seminars, and the like. Internet (Clippings/Links) is where I sort stray news articles and websites of interest. For Others are documents unrelated to my own project that may be of interest to friends and colleagues. Books/Articles is where I take notes on secondary sources it’s also organized geographically. The header labeled Archives is where I put the documents I scan and the notes I take on them, organized by country and then by archive. The stuff in between, though, is user-generated.

All of these came with the program or with apps I connected to it, as did the four items at the bottom of the list (i.e., All Images, All PDF Documents, Duplicates, and Orphaned Files). (You’ll find a bit more on these last two at the bottom of the post). At the top are a few items: Inbox, the default repository for new files I drag into the program Tags, which I don’t really use Mobile Sync, a reception point for items that come in through the DevonThink ToGo mobile app, and Evernote, which receives clippings I make with the Evernote app. When I fire up the program and open my Dissertation database, I’m met with the menu you see below to the left. But my fellow Mac-owning archival researchers looking to build a digital database may find something of value in the ensuing description of the DevonThink process I’ve come to rely on over the past year.

I should also note that the program is only available for Mac - I know, I know - so if you haven’t been sucked into the Apple vortex, this post won’t be of much use to you. I have no doubt that someone with more technical skill could wring much more from it than I can. I should say at the outset that I can claim no particular expertise with regard to this program. Like ABBYY FineScanner, it’s quite pricey ( $149.95 after a 150-hour test-drive), but coming up on 15 months together I couldn’t imagine my life without it. In a post about the wonders of ABBYY FineScanner back in May, I promised to write about another pillar of my archival process, the database management program, DevonThink Pro Office.
