Mainly tweeting about archives and digital preservation at #dpoxford. Also partial to crafts, parkour and disused railway lines. Views are my own.

Would you like to shape @bodleianlibs roadmap for born digital archives? We are looking to engage a consultant. More information at: https://t.co/khlpuIZ9SP #digipres

This is so cool! I loved studying and training to become a film archivist.

Thank you for joining us on this journey of digital technologies!

What other digital technologies from decades past do you remember?

@RuthMallalieu Maybe set up inbox rules to send these emails off to specific folders? And then probably delete most of them in a years time ;P

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
