   @skua While I deeply value the Internet Archive and the Library of Congress, we cannot depend on a single source for the preservation of knowledge.

   We need multiple approaches, myriad sources of funding, and distributed expertise.

     In 2006, I worked on a graduate degree in historic preservation. I was struck by the parallels with digital technology, and I pursued a graduate degree in lib/info sci to expand my knowledge & experience.

     I don’t disagree that the Library of Congress needs more funding, but we also need a Digital Preservation Act on par with the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966. Preservation is local & diverse.
