#Klimawandel und steigende Meeresspiegel bedrohen in #Tuvalu Lebensgrundlage und #Kulturerbe.

Um diese vielfältige #Kultur dennoch an künftige Generationen weitergeben zu können, dokumentieren #KAAK_DAI, das Kulturministerium Tuvalus und die #RisingNationsInitiative gemeinsam mit den Bewohnerinnen und Bewohnern der Inseln deren #Kulturerbestätten, #Traditionen und das #Wissen darum im "Tuvalu #DigitalRepository for #CulturalHeritage".

What's the plan for #DataRescue 2.0? Mobilize lawyers to try to enforce records retention laws? Mobilize international repositories to replicate key scientific and environmental data?

What does the #digitalrepository community think?

"Hyku for Consortia: Providing and Sustaining Open-Source Repositories at Scale" shares an update on the #Hyku for Consortia Project, which provides an affordable #DigitalRepository solution for over thirty libraries across four consortia.

Photo from my last day at Canadiana (birthday is March 31st). Canadiana staff were always friendly, and marked things such as birthdays.

Fresh out on Zenodo:
Sally Chambers et al. (2023) Collections as Data: State of the Field and Future Directions. Position Statements
https://zenodo.org/record/7897735#.ZFUuRHZByUl

Everybody out there in the #GLAM field will find something interesting in there; but especially noteworthy is the fact that Daniel van Strien @danielvanstrien even cites Marx: "A spectre is haunting GLAM collections — the spectre of Large Language Models."

Troves a bit of a mess

Put in a string of words to nail down a specific puzzle or song, and it goes bananas finding papers that mentioned the bits and pieces somewhere on some random spread. Who cares? guff, guff, guff, guff, ... ad nauseum.

Would it be too hard to itemise like a normal repository?

#Trove #DigitalRepository

It would be such a loss if Trove is defunded. It is a great resource for researchers, historians, policy makers, podcasters and people who want to know when the word "burglarious" was used.

Demonstrating their short-term thinking the Federal government subsidizes destructive fossil fuel industries but doesn't provide security for precious information in Trove.

Great article on finding recipes (for cooks or giggles) in Trove.

From the timeless to the tasteless, none will be forgotten thanks to this fantastic digital repository.
