Today is #WorldDigitalPreservationDay
This year's theme asks the question ‘Why Preserve?’
Due to our remote physical location, digitisation enables the JCNA not only to preserve documents, but also to make them more accessible for researchers around the world.

We have the opposite here in the #FalklandIslands - with snow and ice outside, the archive store feels oddly warm!! ❄️

What about other #international archives? 🌍 🧾
The international archivists are melting!* As temperatures rise, our archival depots are nice and cool

*it might just be me, but it’s 37C today…

Just to let our users know that the Archives website will shortly be closing for maintenance and upgrading.

We hope to be back online soon, with improved site navigation, and more items from our collection to view!
