The process of transferring large amounts of data from the Finnish National Archives to a research institute needs a defined technical process as well as licences and agreements. Two types of data transfer cases for state authority archives have been identified depending on the status of the documents: (1) documents are in the ‘storage’ phase (actively used by the state authority); (2) documents are in the ‘archival’ phase (long-term storage). A pilot data transfer project using the type of documents in case 1 has been conducted. Based on the pilot, demands for licences and agreements have been identified. An ideal licensing/agreement process has been described.
