Here @bodleianlibraries.bsky.social we are running a project called 'The Algorithimic Archive', funded by the Mellon Foundation on the challenges & needs for archiving social media data. We need your help- if you use such data can you help us with this survey? forms.office.com/pages/respon...

A person with direct knowledge confirmed with me that Marko Elez requested that the Wayback Machine remove all of his past tweets. A Internet Archives rep said this is their longstanding policy — that rights holders can request URLs to be excluded — but wouldn't comment on any specific case.

We’re proud to be collaborating with the @eotarchive.org and EDGI to capture and preserve critical government websites before they’re lost, using our high-fidelity web archiving tools: Browsertrix and ArchiveWeb.page webrecorder.net/blog/2025-02... #webarchiving #digitalpreservation #EOTarchive

Next week I'll be speaking with my colleague, Veronica about our born-digital workflows at this DPC virtual event. Registration is now available www.dpconline.org/events/event...

New DPC blog: An Unexpected Gift https://www.dpconline.org/blog/an-unexpected-gift #DigiPres #ipres2024

In the new year I’m going to publish a history of the last 5 years of building @transkribus.bsky.social as an AI cooperative: shared ownership, shared resources, all profit reinvested into infrastructure. It turns out we can build a better tech world together, but that takes work & community.

Been working on a thing... A little Christmas present for you lovely #DigiPres people... And it gave me a nice concrete I-know-how-to-finish-this task, in contrast to the other oh-my-god-what-is-this tasks... 😂

Happening today, 10am PT / 1pm ET You can still sign-up at: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

New blog post: "Building Low-Maintenance Community Websites" https://anjackson.net/2024/12/06/building-low-maintenance-community-websites/ I mean, what's the good of having principles if you can't break them from time to time?

Have a snowflake from 1890. The alt text explains how these remarkable snowflake studies were made. The collection of photos is with the Smithsonian Institution Archives and can be viewed on @flickrfdn.bsky.social Flickr Commons.

In Sept 2024, I received an IMLS Early Career Research Grant to study field-wide challenges and potential opportunities for born-digital stewardship through the lens of practitioner experiences. You can follow project updates and news here: digistew.unc.edu

Did I mention that I'm looking for a new role? If anyone is interested in award-winning work on digital preservation, digital textuality, fixing scholcomms systems and their economics, or even just plain old literary criticism, please get in touch.

Worried about the future of your favorite websites, digital art, or data? You can do something about it. SUCHO is partnering with @ach.bsky.social & @webrecorder.net to host a DIY archiving workshop 11/25 at 1 Eastern / 10 Pacific: www.sucho.org/diy-archiving

DIY archiving workshop is happening today! Expected to be the first of several, if you can't make this time. Come feel better by doing something to protect a piece of the internet you care about. ❤️

It's World Digital Preservation Day. Museums still need to get to grips with #digitalpreservation - here's just some of the Science Museum Group's challenge that our team will be dealing with once we have a digital preservation system. #wdpd2024 #digipres

I might look like I'm here. And I guess I am kind-of here. But mostly I'm over at the DigiPres.club - bit.ly/join-digipres-club #DigiPres

Agreed. I wrote this in January to try to get some attention on the issue. It’s going to cost the BL a great deal more than £400k … www.standard.co.uk/comment/brit...

Everything about the BL attack continues to exhaust and worry me. That they weren’t permitted to payoff the £600k ransom and now have only £400k to rebuild from scratch? Digital infrastructure is the backbone of all libraries and I wish it was supported as such

New post on the British Library's Knowledge Matters blog. 'The people responsible for this cyber-attack stand against everything that libraries represent: openness, empowerment, and access to knowledge.' blogs.bl.uk/living-knowl... And a timetable for the main library catalogue and other services
