"Make everything of value resilient": Last week on 14 May we had our Action Day on Resilient Heritage in The Netherlands. I had the opportunity to say a few words at the closing ceremony. Thanks to Helen Johnson and Foekje Boersma for cowriting this with me! @kbnationalebibliotheek https://wvanwezenbeek.github.io/blogs/2025/05/21/Make-everything-of-value-resilient.html #nationallibrary #resilientheritage
Make Everything Of Value Resilient

While threats to national and international heritage as a result of geopolitical tensions and cybersabotage have increased significantly, Dutch heritage institutions are insufficiently prepared for disasters, digital or physical attacks. We published an opinion article about this on our website (9 May 2025), in preparation for the National Resilient Heritage Action Day, which was being organised by Unesco Netherlands, Blue Shield Netherlands and Cultural Emergency Response on 14 May 2025.

Observations, Opinions & Opens

More than 10 years ago I started The Atlas of Digital Damages https://www.atlasofdigitaldamages.info/ to share information of digital disasters as a way to learn from each other. Hopefully people are now more open and aware how important it is to share these experiences.
