Maybe just to throw a random #digipres question out there: does anyone have online fora in their collections? I'm thinking early 2000s php-based forum. I think lots of different communities use/d these, but I guess I've yet to come across discussions of preserving them. Am I missing something?

I haven't really been feeling social media lately, and I guess I've only been posting about work on LinkedIn lately 😬 But in about a month I'll be headed to #icabarcelona2025. It'll be my first ICA Congress (or conference). I'm pretty sure a lot of great colleagues will be there, but it'll be a […]

This blog has been a very long time in the making. Last summer I visited the Niels Bohr Library and Archives of the American Institute of Physics. That visit turned into an interview (Allison Rein interviewed me). Very excited to share this. I hope it will help a few more people find their way […]

Is anyone out there already using #anubis to fight #aibots scraping your sites? https://anubis.techaro.lol/ I heard about it yesterday (thanks to the @404mediaco podcast), and it seems like a good possibility to deal with AI bots scraping #glam sites. But I have a stupid question: would this […]

ANKÜNDIGUNG UND STATEMENT BEZUGLICH DER QUEERFEINDLICHEN ANGRIFFE Seit mehreren Monaten ist die LIESELLE vermehrt Ziel queerfeindlicher und antifeministischer Angriffe. Was zu Beginn des Jahres mit dem Abreißen queer*feministischer Plakate und dem Überkleben unserer Sticker an der Eingangstür begann, eskalierte zuletzt am 16.06. als sich unbekannte Personen Zugang zu unserem Archiv verschafften. @lieselle_rub 2/9

I’ve been trying #openvibe for several months for a unified feed and the ability to cross post to #mastodon and BlueSky, but it’s really not working for me. Any alternatives people would recommend?

But perhaps more importantly, check out our catalogue! So much work has gone into this by so, so many of my colleagues. I'm so happy to see this launched: https://archives-catalogue.iaea.org/ #InternationalArchivesDay

Big news for #InternationalArchivesDay: our archival catalogue has officially launched. And our colleagues in the Multimedia Team even made a short video to promote it. Check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et-HCafVMCc

I also really liked this extensive piece called Shoe-Field by Sonya Rapoport. Apparently when it was first exhibited, she had promotional items including a program to determine your “shoe-psyche”

Two items are shown on a display surface: a small booklet titled "SHOE-FIELD" by Sonya Rapoport, featuring a black-and-white design with images of shoes, and a white folder labeled "Dysan" with a 5.25” floppy disk

An instructional card titled "SHOE-FIELD" detailing steps for an interactive artwork by Sonya Rapoport, intended for IBM compatible computers. The steps include booting the computer, using a diskette, answering shoe-related questions, and receiving print

The image depicts an art installation featuring various pairs of shoes arranged on a patterned floor. A wall showcases multiple printed materials, including charts and images, alongside a large hanging fabric piece with intricate designs. A projector displays an abstract image on the floor, contributing

An interactive artwork titled "SHOE-FIELD" that explores people's feelings about their shoes. It includes a printed guide with instructions and graphic representations indicating different shoe-psyche charges through a series of colored patterns, accompanied by a brief description of the process

Ok, lol, the shoot out was from Kojak. The video is from 1980 by Dara Birnbaum

Among other gems, was a video art piece called Pop Pop Video. It kept repeating a shoot out scene (all d00ds), but then finished by playing this clip from a #wang advertisement. The whole thing was amazing and had me mesmerized.

What are your red flags 🚩 for LinkedIn follow requests? I’m usually pretty open if the request comes from someone in the #glam field, but things like “AI Leader” = 🚩

New blog post! I've started taking regular snapshots of Library of Congress linked open data (as part of a much broader data rescue and monitoring project) and took the opportunity to finally get to grips with #sparql, #rdf and do that comes along with it. I've started small though...

The screenshots included make it look like the photos are in a DAM or Drupal system? If this was just used for publishing photos, but the photos are preserved elsewhere, it might not be quite as bad as it sounds. 26000 photos sounds incredibly small for DoD, but especially for #borndigital […]

The story also states, "The database of the 26,000 images was created to conform with federal archival laws, so if the services are queried in the future, they can show how they are complying with the law, the U.S. official said. But it may be difficult to ensure the content was archived […]
