#intro 01—Hello #Forkiverse!
I've been working on the Internet in civil service since 1996, and helped building the first .gov.br websites. I though we we're doing good, but we were kind of naive then.

The #ArubaDeclaration is an opportunity for #MemoryInstitutions to embrace their role in the #digitalculture. It's essential for #museums, #archives, and #libraries to have the right to gather and preserve freely available online content. This ensures they can continue serving the public by safeguarding our #digitalheritage.

Thanks, the big ones, to the @internetarchive for showing the way.
