@jonippolito That’s lovely to hear - rehab work requires a lot of dedication. I often raise money for my local rehabber. Sadly she gets plenty of work as we still have a lot of persecution over here

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 🙂

"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

Both workflows presented in @lkonstantelos's #iPRES2023 paper "Creating an End-to-End Process for Implementing a Digital Archiving Workflow: How we are putting theory into practice" are available the COW (Community Owned Workflows) section of COPTR https://t.co/TJ3i25OaFg

This workshop digs into the various threats our digital content faces, from technical breakdown to cyber attack. @prwheatley & @hillcite host this face-to-face workshop in Sydney & Brisbane as well this week! Check out all our #digitalpreservation events: https://t.co/2DwOFY64r4

[GPurnell @GpurnellN]

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? https://t.co/cu2gq5ru1g

Adobe and Microsoft break some old files by removing PostScript font support. This will cause a lot of rendering issues of older file formats. #digipres #fileformats https://t.co/mHBMD7MqQE

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.
