If you ever wondered why I only work 4 days a week for the lovely @dpc_chat, this (barely) explains what I get up to on my long weekends 🙂
Our new Bradford Peregrine Trail project was featured on Look North tonight. Here’s a partial clip, or follow this link for the whole report: vimeo.com/899910277 #peregrine #bradford

"If a format is well documented and understood, the preservation risk is lower" @CHLThor #iPRES2023

"Preservation is not binary"
Persistence is not "on" or "off". It is nuanced.
Valuable objects are often complex, volatile, human-curated clusters. #iPres2023 #digipres

So gutted to miss this but a last minute change of plan sent me down under to visit @dpc_chat members in Singapore, Australia and NZ to run events with @hillcite. Thanks to @MickyLindlar for stepping in - what a panel level up! Looking forward to hearing all about it! #iPRES2023

Can anyone share resources showing digital preservation success rates/failures from various legacy carriers (floppy, CD, DVD, other esoteric formats?) Perhaps something similar to the Flashback Project research paper with additional formats? bl.iro.bl.uk/concern/confere…

Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.
This sounds like a lot of fun, but I'm not in London until Friday otherwise I would be signing up 😞
📢Calling all #digitalpreservation and #games fans 📢
Come play #digipres games in London tomorrow!
