 ## Enter BitCurator Environment (BCE)
 
+To address this, a group of archivists and researchers developed the BitCurator Environment, or BCE.
+The BCE is a suite of open-source digital forensics softwares that are particularly useful to archivists in tracking creation metadata, structure, file identification, and documenting provenance. It even contains some built-in writeblockers and other tools to preserve original order and chain of custody.
