Maintenance begins at creation, so why are we not creating better?
by @beet_keeperThe beats are the same. You work for government, or academia (lets face it, that’s probably where 90% of the work is) you have a deliverable; you save it; you print to PDF; you store it on an institutional repository with some metadata (or Zenodo, OSF or equivalent) and its done.
There’s a small chance that it’s FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) right? It has metadata that can be discovered by an audience looking for it and can be indexed by search engines. The data is potentially accessible if published correctly. They’re not particularly interoperable or easily converted, and PDFs aren’t really designed for reuse, even if tools like Apache Tika help ease the burden of extracting artifacts. It’s just a PDF, why are we even talking about FAIR? There begins a story…
The beats are the same, yet, we work in digital preservation, our backgrounds are in GLAM or software, why do we want to shoot ourselves in the foot? Why are we not using our skills to create better?

The web never stands still 🌐 ... and neither do the challenges of preserving it.
The #DPC is preparing for the return of its Web Archiving Special Interest Group (WA-SIG), bringing DPC Members together in a welcoming and transparent space where Members can exchange ideas, surface challenges, and learn from one another’s approaches.
The renewed WA-SIG gets together on 7 July.

Por que digitalizar não basta para a História Digital por Mateus Rezende de Andrade (Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora) Stan Beeman, agente do FBI na série The Americans, caminha com um olhar de estranheza por um corredor de estantes metálicas vazias. Ao final dele, encontra a explicação para o desaparecimento das caixas e papéis … Continuar a ler “Estamos inserindo arquivos em nossa máquina de OCR”
They deleted queer history from the National Archives. Stripped "transgender" and "queer" from Stonewall's digital presence. But you don't erase a people by deleting metadata. The documents held. Primary sources are harder to kill than webpages. We're still here.

I just got another package from Buyee. I've got everything on the cheap save for the Dirty Pair CD which cost more than the other four combined. I'm slowly doing accurate rips and scans of everything and I hope to be able to upload all this stuff to the Internet Archive by this summer.
