After participating to a panel on media art publications, I’m giving an invited talk on May 9 (tomorrow) at 13:45 at Teatro Los Fundadores in Manizales (Colombia), as part of the Festival Internacional de la Imagen about “Neural, 30+ years of interdependent networking”, thanks to Winchester School of Art Department of Art and Media Technology, Andres Burbano, and Felipe Cesar Londoño for the support.

A question for business/corporate archivists/RMs:

Have the early-2000s predictions of digital affordances enabling item-level records management panned out at all? (ֵE.g., Bearman saying aggregation is unnecessary for digital records).

If so, how is that affecting your practices?

My sense is that if this is happening anywhere, it's in orgs using systems like MS Sharepoint or other "enterprise" software, which… doesn't tend to fit the profile of who my institution collects

#DigitalArchives

The closing plenary at our CNI Spring Meeting was a particularly meaningful one, moderated by CNI's Clifford Lynch, the panel explored the growing complexity of cybersecurity threats in #libraries & #DigitalArchives.

Alongside Cliff, the panelists discussed aging infrastructure, the importance of risk assessments, the rising stakes of #DigitalPreservation, and the need for widespread cyber literacy across institutions—not just among IT professionals.

Do you want to help preserve the social media accounts of closed DEI programs in the southern US? Do you have some free time right now and don’t mind repetitive tasks of downloading images & pasting descriptions into spreadsheets? I promise you, it goes pretty quickly once you get a system!

Invisible Histories started a program to download and archive DEI programs’ social media content before they are taken down. You are assigned a couple years for a specific DEI office to archive and upload to Google docs. Read more about the program and sign up here: https://bit.ly/DEIAVolunteer

"Even better. We used this new program. It's kind of like the Wayback Machine but for social media. It's a digital archive that captures the image of a page when it was created." #Matlock #digipres #WebArchiving #SocialMedia #Webrecorder #DigitalArchives #DigitalPreservation

Woah -- the University of #Glasgow #Library blog is especially prolific this week. Robyn Stewart, Archives & Special Collections Assistant, reflects on collections related to GULGBTQ+, who are celebrating 50 years as a society this year. 👍

Another blog post from one of our Arts Library Associates, coordinated by my colleague here at University of Glasgow. In this post Cassie Vaden delivers an overview of digitising flat materials, "allowing you to access priceless artifacts and records from the comfort of your own home."

Wie können digitale Video-Annotationen sowohl Tanzschaffenden in ihrer künstlerischen Praxis nutzen als auch in archivarischen Umgebungen umgesetzt werden?
Das Kooperationsprojekt "ITI ♥ MOTION BANK" hat digitale Methoden in der Archivpraxis erforscht und nun die Evaluation veröffentlicht.
