Description

.DS_Store (System File) – Arke Institute Digital Collection

Overview

This item is a binary system file named `.DSStore` stored in the systemfiles directory of the Arke Institute’s digital collection. The file is 6,148 bytes in size and encoded as `application/octet-stream`. It is accessible via the CDN URL `https://cdn.arke.institute/asset/MHWEDNJ98XBBP586WAJ` and is pinned on IPFS with the CID `bafkreicyuoznc3pu3cxeb7uy4mv2zhra332siuexdehhfkwf4skoighesa`. A metadata record titled “System Files Metadata” catalogs the file as a text document within the PINAX metadata system, indicating its role in preserving the original folder view settings.

Background

`.DS_Store` files are automatically generated by macOS to store folder‑specific view settings such as icon positions, window size, and background images. In the context of the Arke Institute, the file was captured as part of the digital preservation workflow to retain the exact state of the folder structure at the time of archiving. Including such system files ensures that future users can reconstruct the original browsing experience and verify that the collection’s metadata and file organization have remained unchanged.

Contents

The file contains binary data that encodes the folder’s view preferences; it is not human‑readable and does not include textual or visual content from the collection. The metadata record indicates that the file is treated as a system artifact rather than a primary content item. The file’s presence is primarily for archival integrity rather than for providing substantive information about the collection’s subject matter.

Scope

The item covers the technical metadata of a single folder within the Arke Institute’s digital repository. It is relevant to preservationists, archivists, and researchers interested in the provenance and integrity of the collection’s file structure. The file does not contain any of the collection’s thematic content (e.g., editorial tutorials, newsletters, or lifestyle discussions) and is therefore excluded from the substantive subject coverage of the collection.
