@fletcherdurant @meg_smith0913 I still do think that digitization *can be* preservation ( basically #LOCKSS ) but this nuance *is* complicated (like most processes)
Digitization can easily also *not be* preservation.
Still stand on my hill from SAA that *it depends.*

Collection access and preservation depend on proper storage. Storage is conceptually fairly easy but to do adequately at scale takes staff, funding, and space. All are hard to obtain and maintain. #PreservationIsAProcess #PiaP
Reformatting records by digitization can be part of preserving these resources. Their evidential value of should be considered during needs assessment. Usually (Often?) there is value in both the information & the physical record. #PreservationIsAProcess

I came into Collection Care sideways so I sometime feel 'less than' but to talk with you all and discuss what I do & how I work has been magnificent.

So nice to have Paper Conservator and Paper & Book Historian Cathy Baker stop by the lab today. She is one of the many amazing people in our field.

@fletcherdurant It really says that? Unbelieveable. I guess that makes me the same raw asset from the big bang that made all the atoms in my body. So obnoxious and naive.

An #AICmtg19 thread well worth your time with lots of wisdom from #LessonsLearned when things don't go as planned in conservation.
We are a practical profession with important aspirations.

@LJaneHenderson Indeed - standards are really the beginning of finding a solution, not the end. They help different groups communicate to each other and understand in a fairly objective way areas of importance.

So much of preservation practice focuses on maintaining stability for collections. Ever changing digital infrastructure such a challenge - especially at logistical, practical, & resource levels. By comparison (difficult) challenges with buildings: easy.

#digipres: so much more will go wrong before file format obsolescence kicks in.
Reformatting (eg transcription, photocopies, microforms, & digitization): a proven preservation strategy for many things
#PreservationIsAProcess
Related note: many use copies are now unique & deserve recognition as essentially masters, many on acetate base & need cold storage.
Librarians on a Boat?
In the 1950s & 60s @UF librarians traveled around the Caribbean with microfilm cameras to preserve documents & newspapers with help from local communities. Today, much of this being digitized thanks to a grant from @CLIRHC.
#MagnificientCollections
A good and needed oped from the leaders of @librarycongress @smithsonian & @USNatArchives connecting the tragedy of the #NotreDame Fire to the many #preservation needs across the US.

Sigh. Absolutely agree - however it is people who decide and create those defenses. We can do better. Stop blaming the victim.

Notre Dame is a grave reminder that cultural heritage sites too often lack adequate defenses against a range of disasters https://t.co/Xn1hlv40Di
Our hearts are heavy over the #NotreDameCathedralFire yesterday, and we look to words from our colleagues for inspiration and renewed zeal for our work and advocacy for collections. #PreservationIsAProcess , and one we are deeply committed to!
Most cultural resources that we care about are also functional things: e.g. buildings, books, machine readable information, national parks. When we defer or ignore their needs we actively create risk. #MaintenanceIsCritical

And harder to preserve. The better something is catalogued/described the easier it is to take care of. #PreservationIsAProcess
โBadly processed collections are hidden collectionsโ s16 #MARACSpring19
The better something (analog or digital) is described & arranged the easier it is to access & preserve. #PreservationIsAProcess
Discussions today about how professional standards accountancy report and test the value of data. My argument: a well structured and preserved data set is more valuable than digital landfill, and risk+audit committees need to know the difference. #digitalpreservation #dpc
Preservation of anything begins with technical understanding. It continues because of sustained, hard work by many people from a myriad of professions across time. Usually not easy & takes at least a fair amount of resources, especially at #SCALE. #PreservationIsAProcess
Nothing lasts forever - digital or physical. Whether we like it or not deterioration happens. Preservation aims to manage that change with the collections and resources we have. Do the best you can for those that continue your preservation work. #PreservationIsAProcess
Great question. No digital format will last forever, but @DigitCurator students learn which features distinguish long-lived standards (open, simple, accessible) from short-lived ones (proprietary, complicated, arcane) #Re_collection https://t.co/Z9rlJMfclJ
Ok. How about this? Digitize them for access, rehouse them well in preservation supplies, store them in a cool environment, have an awesome finding aid, and have viewing parties of one of best sitcoms ever? #PreservationIsAProcess
Hollywood producer Carl Reiner and the National Comedy Center say theyโre working together to digitally preserve Reinerโs collection of scripts from the 1960โฒs โThe Dick Van Dyke Show.โ https://t.co/ARglMFbILU
