What does it actually take to keep a digital archive healthy for the very long term? At CLOCKSS, the answer involves much more than storing files. We're currently looking for a savvy someone who would like to help us think about - and look after - a globally distributed dark archive. buff.ly/9WvGO95

Really enjoying Sam Alloing and colleagues talking about the way that AI creates a mess of inauthentic content - specifically reserarch journals - that are a real effort to clean up. So the question, will AI end up just making more work for us instead of reducing the burden. #ipres2026

Flash was once the playground of the web: games, animations & experiments made by anyone with an idea. 💻 Preserving those creations helps recover a lost chapter of culture. Jason Scott explores why Flash matters & why its preservation is vital. 📖 Download & read: archive.org/details/vani... 🧵
