If you are looking for easy to understand digital preservation training resources then look no further than our next #DPClinic. The resources produced by this project are second to none and of particular relevance to community groups.

Can I add something here, not cheery. My fear is that this is an imminent knowledge and memory crisis unlike others because of the deep technological dependencies adjacent to the bubble. We need to build and shelter sustainable digital infrastructure.

I love the fact that the reaction of primary-school-aged Glasgow weans, faced with the news that there was a terrifying bogle haunting the cemetery, was "let's tool up and go completely Buffy on him".

Well, if it’s 23 September... YES, THAT’S RIGHT! It’s the 71st anniversary of the hunt for the Gorbals Vampire, in which hundreds of children aged from four to 14, armed with dogs, knives and sharpened sticks went looking for an urban myth
Daily Mirror front page shows grainy image of horde of children in a cemetery, and the headline “Amazing scene as hundreds of children rush cemetery”

#DigiPres question. Anyone know of any API for Dummies resources? Basically a beginners guide for someone who thinks they might be useful but has zero experience?
