Katie Mackinnon | Library Innovation Lab InterviewerIf you were given unlimited funding to design a system for storing and preserving digital information for at least a century, what would you do?

Along with 14 other scholars, archivists, designers, business leaders, and engineers I shared my thoughts on DEEP TIME DATA ARCHIVES for the @harvardlil.bsky.social Generational Data project with @maxy.bsky.social and Clare Stanton.

What data, if any, should be stored for a century? Who decides? 💎
