@blogdiva we do need more digital libraries and museums! I can point to the public domain review website, focused on public domain materials. It's possible to browse collections by theme, medium, century...
https://publicdomainreview.org/collections/
National libraries usually have some kind of digital library with digitalized materials from their collections (some of the material may still be copyrighted). Check the library of congress website, there's a search option!
I'd also recommend asking your local library! They'll help for sure.

We curate collections of images, books, audio and film, shining a light on curiosities and wonders from a wide range of online archives. Leaning toward the surprising, the strange, and the beautiful, we hope to provide an ever-growing cabinet of curiosities for the digital age
"The #Sydney #Jewish #Museum has launched an interactive #website to preserve memories, tributes and testimonies from the #December14 #BondiBeach #terror attack for the historical record.
The platform, called “Remembering Bondi,” allows community members, local residents, witnesses, victims’ families and anyone affected by the attack to contribute photos, videos, thoughts and recollections to a growing #digitalarchive."

hello~~ working on organizing my personal digital archive. looking for resources or thoughts on file management particularly for decades worth of photos, documents, and personal digital projects (collage, video etc). what logic do you follow for your folders? do you think your logic is / could be legible to others? if you re-started your folder hierarchy from scratch, what might you do differently?
currently working with a docs/photos dichotomy at the very top level, then largely by year within those. but it gets messy from there.

"My #research into #Cork’s #Jewish #history started in 2017, when I was writing a #musical #play set in Cork in the early 1900s. The #synagogue had closed the year before. To date, I have interviewed over 50 local residents and Cork-born #Jews and their descendants now living world-wide. After I made my Cork #JewishCulture Virtual Walk #documentary during lockdown, many people contacted me to tell me about their life in Cork’s Jewish community, sending me #memoirs and #photos, which I have recently compiled into a #digitalarchive to be housed in Cork Public #Museum. My #book, Ghosts of #JewishCork – People, Places, Culture, is currently seeking a #publisher."
Hi, is there anyone with experience using torrent files as a distributed archiving and preservation strategy in cultural organisations? I'm looking for advice, any example or reference would be helpful, thank you! 🙌
