Archivist Simon sits at his desk looking towards the camera. He's in the process of checking and storing digital files; on the desk in front of him are transfer and storage drives.

Our #ExploreYourArchive theme today is Digital!

Here's our archivist Simon working on the digital records in the daCi Archive; just like paper archives, digital archives require careful management to preserve them.

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.

Today is #WDPD25 asking "Why Preserve?" UCD Digital Preservation Librarian Niamh Murphy is (virtually) at this yr's @ipres2025.bsky.social in Wellington, NZ. The weaving of Māori tradition into the conference is a reminder that #digitalpreservation is all about people.

On #WorldDigitalPreservationDay, this photo from our #UniOfExeterArchive is a reminder that technology is constantly evolving, & when it becomes obsolete, information may be lost. Digital preservation is vital to enable access to digital records, now & in the future.

On this #WorldDigitalPreservationDay I'm reflecting on the fact that my attempts to preserve data documenting the development of online collections was thwarted this year by GLAM institutions who are today posting about #WDPD2025. Oh the irony...

Anyway, here's what I was trying to do […]

My LB is a reminder on #WorldDigitalPreservationDay that even famous works that had big audiences can be lost in whole or in part: www.kozaksclassiccinema.com/the-broadway-melody-1929... . As I've noted before, the majority of silent pictures are now lost as well.

Similar fates may await […]

Happy #WorldDigitalPreservationDay everyone, and a special mention to all the wonderful people at the Digital Preservation Coalition.
