Old mobile backups are like digital time capsules. ⏳📁

They hold years of forgotten chats, buried photos, and pieces of your digital history. But keeping them locked in raw, unreadable formats means those memories stay invisible.

We built #Keepita to help you unlock and browse your past easily, securely, and locally.

Time to dust off your old files: https://keepita.com/

Julian Assange warned us. Digital archives give them the power to erase history with one click.

One day you see a page. The next day it is gone. "Page not found." A week later, the narrative shifts. "This never happened." No record remains. No evidence of the deletion. Just silence.

This is not a hypothetical. It is a description of how centralized digital infrastructure actually operates. When history exists only on servers controlled by corporations or governments, it exists at their pleasure. A court order. A content policy update. A political calculation. A change in leadership. And the digital record disappears as if it never existed.

Assange understood this decades ago. His warning was not about any specific archive or any specific government. It was about the architecture of digital memory itself. When you do not control the infrastructure, you do not control the history. You are a tenant in someone else's archive, and your lease can be terminated at any time.

The solution is not to abandon digital tools. It is to diversify them.

Keep physical books. Print what matters. Store PDFs on external hard drives. Use multiple storage locations across different devices. Distribute archives across different networks and different jurisdictions. Do not trust any single cloud provider with anything irreplaceable.

Digital memory is fragile by design. Fragile can be broken. Fragile can be rewritten. Fragile can be erased with a single keystroke.

Own your own copies. Archive offline. Do not trust the cloud.

Does anybody have a good example of a document one might give to a potential donor to help them prep digital files for donation? #archives #digitalarchives

I just found 20 years worth of manually tagged images! I thought the tagging had been lost to the gods of software past.

People names, places, event names, all back.

So happy!!!

How much usable data is sitting in our archives, digitized but not truly accessible?

New vision-language OCR tools are changing what's possible. Our graduate fellow Chloë Farr tested these on 323 pages of archaeological ceramic data—tables that stumped traditional OCR completely.
