This is so cool! I loved studying and training to become a film archivist.
Curious about film preservation? We're delighted to be working with @_CreativeAccess to recruit for our trainee film conservator! If you're interested in joining our team, we’d love to hear from you. theb.fi/3UC6kAU

It's World Digital Preservation Day!
New trends quickly make cutting-edge tech obsolete. At the Bodleian we maintain a digital preservation outreach collection with samples of digital tech from decades pasts.
Throughout today, we'll take a romp through the past…

It’s another iPres animal! The hungry, hungry data eating hippo. @JamesMooneyUK talking about gathering data about @bodleianlibs repositories with open source tools and frameworks. #dpoxford #iPres2022
Digital preservation teams are last in line to take over custody of digital content. This is a problem, says @YvonneTunnat, since files may have been broken for many many years at this point. ZBW therefore now does early alert scanning before it reaches the archive. #iPres2022
How do you store information about nuclear waste over thousands of years? Genetically modified cats that change colour when approaching nuclear waste & mystical cults were suggested in the 80s, Popham tells us. But sadly, there’s never a magic bullet for preservation. #iPres2022
Viv Cothey presenting a lightweight fixity storage manager for transferring and requesting packages at Gloucestershire County Council. Nice to see such a pragmatic approach using limited resources. #iPres2022
