Activist Archivists and Digital Preservation | The Signal: Digital Preservation Over the past year, Howard Besser<http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/series/pioneers/besser.html>and Activist Archivists <http://activist-archivists.org/wp/> have been doing innovative work that extends beyond the technological aspects of digital preservation to include elements of sociology, cultural sensitivity, local politics, community advocacy and more. Their work centers around a new kind of collection that didn’t exist until recent years: digital content on a massive scale, from various sources, created by many individuals in a range of formats and dispersed throughout cyberspace. What unifies the collection is a community, bound together by geography or by a shared purpose. Adding to the challenge, archivists must deal with complex behavior from the content creators. http://1.usa.gov/R3NHiS Source: http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2012/10/activist-archivists-and-digital-preservation/#comment-8476 See if people are clicking on this link: http://1.usa.gov/R3NHiS+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA [log in to unmask] Richmond, Va http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
