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.

Quoting @skua:

@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.

@pluralistic @indianaj989 I remember reading a book about Industrial History written ca. 1890. The writer opined about the difficulty of getting workers to the factory on time “for those were the days of the spontaneous street dance”.

My life hasn’t been the same since I read that.

@misty I had images and posts disappear this evening. For your radar.

@misty an image was posted w/o any representation in the viewer (alt-text appeared) ~1 hr ago and a post disappeared about 20-25 minutes ago. Thank you for all that you do. ? I'm only sharing notice because I trust that you care ??

@natematias Harzing's Publish or Perish offers a tidy little GUI for citation tracking and export.
