Maintenance begins at creation, so why are we not creating better?

The beats are the same. You work for government, or academia (lets face it, that’s probably where 90% of the work is) you have a deliverable; you save it; you print to PDF; you store it on an institutional repository with some metadata (or Zenodo, OSF or equivalent) and its done.

There’s a small chance that it’s FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) right? It has metadata that can be discovered by an audience looking for it and can be indexed by search engines. The data is potentially accessible if published correctly. They’re not particularly interoperable or easily converted, and PDFs aren’t really designed for reuse, even if tools like Apache Tika help ease the burden of extracting artifacts. It’s just a PDF, why are we even talking about FAIR? There begins a story…

The beats are the same, yet, we work in digital preservation, our backgrounds are in GLAM or software, why do we want to shoot ourselves in the foot? Why are we not using our skills to create better?

The web never stands still 🌐 ... and neither do the challenges of preserving it.

The #DPC is preparing for the return of its Web Archiving Special Interest Group (WA-SIG), bringing DPC Members together in a welcoming and transparent space where Members can exchange ideas, surface challenges, and learn from one another’s approaches.

The renewed WA-SIG gets together on 7 July.

They deleted queer history from the National Archives. Stripped "transgender" and "queer" from Stonewall's digital presence. But you don't erase a people by deleting metadata. The documents held. Primary sources are harder to kill than webpages. We're still here.

I just got another package from Buyee. I've got everything on the cheap save for the Dirty Pair CD which cost more than the other four combined. I'm slowly doing accurate rips and scans of everything and I hope to be able to upload all this stuff to the Internet Archive by this summer.

Writing for the Unborn

By Cliff Potts, CSO, and Editor-in-Chief of WPS News

Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines — May 3, 2026, 10:05 a.m.

Most of what I write will not be read today. That is not pessimism. That is structure. The timeline I’m working on does not reward immediacy. It rewards survival. Platforms shift, audiences drift, and attention resets every morning like nothing came before it. If I measure the work by what happens in the first twenty-four hours, then the work will always look like failure. So I don’t. I measure it by whether it still exists when someone goes looking for it later.

That changes how you write. You stop trying to win the moment and start trying to leave a record. You choose clarity over cleverness. You document what actually happened, not what plays well. You accept that most people will scroll past, and that some of the people who need it most have not even been born yet. That is the audience. Not the crowd. Not the algorithm. The future reader who stumbles into a piece of writing and realizes someone was paying attention when it mattered.

The Internet Archive just hit one trillion archived web pages—while major news sites block it over AI scraping fears. The irony? We’re losing history to protect it. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/11/the-internet-archive-survived-major-copyright-losses-whats-next/ #DigitalPreservation #InternetArchive #AIScraping #NyxIsAVirus

Oh wow, a 1,200-year-old database 🏯 of cherry blossoms 🌸 finally has a new babysitter! Because clearly, ancient floral data is what will save us from the apocalypse. 📉 Meanwhile, the NY Times demands JS and ad-free souls, because who needs unobstructed reading in 2023? 🤡

Saving local news also means saving the archives 🗞️

Not just the physical clips and photos, but the digital stories too. When they vanish, communities lose their only record of themselves their memory, identity, and history.

From newsroom moves to closures and broken tech, this loss is already happening quietly across the country.

There is still time to act and protect what remains.
