This #WDPD2024 blog was fascinating. The concepts of deliberate erasure of content, creator intent, and the materiality of the digital were thought provoking. It was also great to have a researcher's perspective.

Another Friday, another #WDPD2024 blog post. I liked how this one linked the elements of physical and digital preservation, and how they support each other.

Friday afternoon, time to carry on catching up with #WDPD2024 blogs.
This one from the BFI is familiar in terms of how we think about supporting documentation. We also work with BFI to care for our films, so it's good to know what they are doing!

This is familiar! Trying to remind people that a) the software is great and necessary, and b) the software won't solve all our problems.
I really like the approach to engaging staff across the organisation to develop workflows. #WDPD2024

This #WDPD2024 blog is summed up for me in the line “The fast parts get all the attention. The slow parts have all the power.”
There is something in how we need to move fast to keep pace with the environment and also take a slower, long term view.

This toolkit released on #WDPD2024 will be really valuable for working with community archives. Simply written and accessible for groups with limited resources.
Not just professionally - I think this will be useful for informal chats about #digipres

The DPC has been sharing and promoting a TON of great stuff today for #wdpd2024 including a post by @kellystewart.bsky.social on 2 sides to our #digipres community: slow and cautious vs fast and free. Which one are you? www.dpconline.org/blog/wdpd/bl...

An exciting ongoing project with the OLRC is the tape backup pilot! While the OLRC replicates files across three storage nodes, these copies are not independent. This pilot began in response to community requests for options to further mitigate risk to their digital assets.

The OLRC has five storage nodes at academic libraries across Ontario. In collaboration with staff at these partner libraries we recently replaced the network switches at all five nodes. This upgrade will improve network reliability, speed, connectivity & overall user experience.

November 7, 2024 at 9:29 PM
Since 2017, the OLRC has provided secure, reliable & scalable cloud storage to member libraries & archives for their digital materials. With a national subscriber base, the OLRC has a vibrant & ever-growing community of partners supporting the core preservation work.

How do we preserve websites? The @archive.org developed tools including the Wayback Machine, Save Page Now, and Archive-It to make it possible. #WDPD2024
