everything I could about the 1914 Orient Express, to help our team recreate it accurately in <em>The Last Express</em> (the game I did after <em>Prince of Persia</em>). We were dumbfounded when the French railway company SNCF told us they’d dumped most of their pre-war archives for lack of warehouse space in the 1970s. The train timetables, floor plans and photographs we coveted had gone to landfill.</p> <p><strong>Watch a demo trailer for <em>The Last Express</em></strong></p><iframe src="https://archive.org/embed/The_Last_Express-Trailer" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" allowfullscreen></iframe> <p>Like most kids of my generation, I grew up assuming that things like books, video games, music and movies, newspapers and magazines, once published, wouldn’t just disappear. If I ever wanted to revisit that 1981 issue of <em>Softalk</em> magazine, or read <em>The Manchester Guardian</em>‘s front page the day World War I broke out, surely some library somewhere would have a copy?</p> <p>In reality, cultural artifacts are findable only so long as someone takes on the active responsibility to preserve, catalog and share them. Once gone, they’re gone forever. Historical oblivion is the default, not the exception.</p> <p>That summer of 1993, as a last resort, we placed a classified ad in a French railway enthusiasts magazine: “Seeking information about 1914 Orient Express.” One issue later, our phone rang.</p> <p>The voice on the other end proposed that we meet in their club, in the basement of Paris Gare de l’Est. We passed through a glass door marked “No Access” to discover a cavern of rooms filled with vintage railway posters, books, and the biggest working model train set I’ve ever seen. Our informants—a pair of retired French railway employees—were waiting. </p> <p>We explained what we were looking for, and what SNCF had told us. A glint appeared in the two gentlemen’s eyes. The elder of the pair leaned forward. “They <em>think</em> they destroyed the archives,” he said. “We took ‘em home. We’ve got ‘em.”</p> <p class="has-light-gray-background-color has-background"><strong>Resources</strong><br><a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://archive.org/details/msdos_Last_Express_The_1997">Play</a> <em>The Last Express</em>, preserved at Internet Archive and emulated in the browser.<br><a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://archive.org/details/msdos_Prince_of_Persia_1990">Play</a> <em>Prince of Persia</em>, preserved at Internet Archive and emulated in the browser.<br> Learn more about Mechner and his body of work at <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://www.jordanmechner.com/">https://www.jordanmechner.com/</a></p> <p>If you’ve played <em>The Last Express</em>, you know that they came through for us. Our Smoking Car Productions team in San Francisco was able to spend the next four years creating a faithful interactive 3D recreation of the historic luxury train, thanks to two trainmen in Paris who’d preserved a part of their company’s legacy that management didn’t consider worth saving.</p> <p>Thirty years later, <em>The Last Express</em> has in its turn become a relic. The cutting-edge 1990s technology we used to model and render the train is now antiquated, like 1890s steam engines. Today, retro-computing enthusiasts, academics, online libraries and archives volunteer their resources to curate and preserve games like <em>The Last Express</em>, and the documents and artifacts that contain the behind-the-scenes stories of how they were made.</p> <p>Sadly (but unsurprisingly), it’s rare for game development studios and media companies who own the underlying materials to prioritize preservation of their legacies any more than the SNCF did in the 1970s. Old server backups are routinely deleted. Internal information about a title’s development is often unfindable a decade later even if management asks for it.</p> <p>As a game developer, I’ve been in the rare and fortunate position of being able to archive and share source code, assets and development materials from many of my games. One reason is that my publishing contracts let me keep the copyrights (unusual even in the 1980s, almost unheard of today). In 2012, the Strong National Museum of Play agreed to receive a large pile of cartons that were taking up significant shelf space in my garage. When I turned up a long-lost box of 3.5” floppy disks containing<em> Prince of Persia</em>’s 1989 source code, a team of experts descended on my house with a carful of vintage hardware to extract and upload it to github. <em>Wired</em> magazine sent a reporter and photographer to cover the event. Few game studio employees can expect such privileged treatment.</p> <p><strong>Play <em>Prince of Persia</em></strong></p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://archive.org/embed/msdos_Prince_of_Persia_1990" width="560" height="384" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" allowfullscreen></iframe> <p>A more ordinary course of events is exemplified by the abrupt closure of <em>Game Informer</em> magazine in August 2024. Its website with three decades’ worth of industry coverage disappeared overnight from the internet—removed by its parent company, GameStop, with no advance warning to the magazine’s subscribers or even to its staff. In this case, a robust network of game fans and journalists (and the Wayback Machine) quickly sprang into action to archive past issues. But similar erasures happen constantly around the world, largely unnoticed by the public. Game studios, local newspapers, and other companies disappear every week, taking their history with them.</p> <p>As a lifelong author, game developer and graphic novelist who makes my living primarily from royalties, I understand publishers’ desire to control and profit from content they own. But all of the games and books I’ve created were made possible by what came before—including other games, books, movies, and history I could access when I needed it, thanks to archivists and librarians. Their work is unsung, and often unpaid. I’d like to see it unpunished. Having benefited so much from their efforts, it’s painful to me as a creator to see them under attack.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="alignleft size-full is-resized"> <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=http://blog.archive.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000.png"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=http://blog.archive.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000.png" alt="" class="wp-image-27978" width="214" height="214" srcset="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1000w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000-300x300.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 300w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000-150x150.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 150w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000-768x768.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 768w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000-624x624.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 624w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000-650x650.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 650w" sizes="(max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px"></a> <figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> <em>Download the complete </em><a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://archive.org/details/vanishing-culture-report">Vanishing Culture</a><em> report.</em> </figcaption> </figure> </div> <p>The Internet Archive’s recent removal of 500,000 books from its online library, after being sued by a group of big publishers who called scanning and lending their books piracy, is now the subject of an ongoing court case. The decision (which may come down to the U.S. Supreme Court) will have a major rippling impact on future preservation efforts and online archiving, including within the video game industry. </p> <p>I believe in fair use, and I fear for a society in which our ability to document and preserve our history (including books and games we’ve purchased) is effectively hamstrung and blocked by large companies seeking to expand their control of digital platforms. For these reasons, I’m firmly on the archivists’ side. </p> <p>I can’t help thinking that if the SNCF employees who took home those file boxes of train floor plans and route maps in the 1970s were to do the equivalent today—scan and upload them to a vintage railway enthusiasts’ website, say—they might well find themselves hit with a takedown notice and legal threats. Theft of intellectual property, violation of non-disclosure agreements, conspiracy to commit piracy. In today’s climate, I wouldn’t blame them for hesitating, or for letting their employer consign that history to oblivion.</p> <p>The little corner of our world to which I’ve dedicated my working life—making video games, books and graphic novels—is just one small niche. But it depends on, and is connected to, all the rest. I hope that the French railway enthusiasts’ club still exists. I hope GameStop allows the readers and former staff who treasured their magazine to preserve its legacy without interference. And I hope the Internet Archive wins their case.</p> <p><strong>About the author</strong></p> <p>Jordan Mechner is an American video game designer, graphic novelist, and screenwriter.

Now he is a digital technician, assisting on a variety of digitization projects. He has scanned documents from the<a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://guides.loc.gov/supreme-court-records-and-briefs/dockets"> </a>University of California Berkeley’s <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://igs.berkeley.edu/">Institute of Governmental Studies Library</a>, the <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://www.gtu.edu/">Graduate Theological Union</a> and others.</p> <p>Making vital documents available to the public is a privilege, he said, and provides important clues about the past that can inform future decisions.</p> <p>“It’s like breadcrumbs,” Norman said of the knowledge he helps share with users. “Each piece we scan is a breadcrumb, a fragment of a story. People can pick them up, follow the trail, and discover something meaningful — and that’s what I want to do: help people pick them up and see where they lead.”</p> <p>Norman, whose parents are both librarians, said he was drawn to the work because of his interest in learning and commitment to accessibility of knowledge for all.</p> <p>“I think about all the materials out there that we get to touch through digitization,” Norman said. “The ability to make significant change or have a profound impact is right at our fingertips.”</p> <p>Norman considers the documents he has digitized through the course of his work. Some of the materials were given out at meetings or in boardrooms and filed away for safekeeping in places out of reach. He says digitization cracks the knowledge in these materials open again and ushers in new potential. </p> <p>“It simply takes pulling up a chair at the computer, looking at [the materials] and seeing how I can harness or leverage this to fill in gaps of information that people didn’t even know was out there,” Norman said. “We’re doing something that can make the world a better place.”</p> <p>Norman hopes the award shines a spotlight on the Internet Archive’s mission to make knowledge accessible to all, adding: “My goal is to use my expertise in community engagement and building partnerships to draw attention to meaningful work, such as what we’re doing here.”</p> </div><!-- .entry-content --> <footer class="entry-meta"> Posted in <a href="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/category/announcements/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" rel="category tag">Announcements</a>, <a href="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/category/books-archive/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" rel="category tag">Books Archive</a>, <a href="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/category/news/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" rel="category tag">News</a> | Tagged <a href="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/tag/staff-recognition/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" rel="tag">staff recognition</a> | <span class="comments-link"><a href="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/2024/11/19/congratulations-to-nick-norman-for-award-recognizing-digitization-work/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#respond"><span class="leave-reply">Leave a reply</span></a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-meta --> </article><!-- #post --> <article id="post-28075" class="post-28075 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-announcements category-audio-archive category-books-archive category-emulation category-image-archive category-live-music-archive-2 category-open-library category-software-archive category-technical category-television-archive category-wayback-machine tag-ddos"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/2024/11/14/learning-from-cyberattacks/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" rel="bookmark">Learning from Cyberattacks</a></h1> <div class="entry-byline"> Posted on <a href="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/2024/11/14/learning-from-cyberattacks/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="9:59 pm" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2024-11-14T21:59:03+00:00">November 14, 2024</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/author/brewster/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="View all posts by Brewster Kahle" rel="author">Brewster Kahle</a></span></span> </div><!-- .entry-byline --> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="entry-content"> <p>The Wayback Machine, Archive.org, Archive-it.org, and OpenLibrary.org came up in stages over the week after cyberattacks with some of the contributor features coming up over the last couple of weeks. A few to go. Much of the development during this time has been focused on securing the services so they can still run while attacks continue. </p> <p>The Internet Archive is adapting to a more hostile world, where DDOS attacks are recurring periodically (such as yesterday and today), and more severe attacks might happen. Our response has been to harden our services and learn from friends. This note is to share some high level findings, without being so detailed as to help those that are still attacking archive.org.</p> <p>By tightening firewall technologies, we have changed how data flows through our systems to improve monitoring and control. The downside is these upgrades have forced changes to software, some of it quite old. </p> <p>The bright side is this is forcing upgrades that we have long planned or hoped for. We are greatly helped by the free and open source community’s improving tools that can be used by large corporations as well as non-profit libraries because they are freely available.</p> <p>Also, some commercial companies have offered assistance that would generally be prohibitively expensive. We are grateful for the support.</p> <p>Where the Internet Archive has always focused on building collections and preserving them, we have been starkly reminded how important reliable access is to researchers, journalists, and readers.

For women of color, the lines between public and private have often been blurred, as evidenced by the family photo of my great-grandmother picking beets in a field while caring for my two-year-old grandmother. Sixty years later the roles would reverse and my grandmother would serve as the primary caregiver for her mother with Alzheimer’s dementia. I could not begin to quantify in dollars the thirteen years of 24/7 care she provided our family.</p> <p>In U.S. culture, women have historically been thought of as “natural” caregivers or predisposed to caring for others, so little to no concern has been given to assigning monetary value to the labor that women are expected to perform.</p> <p>This begs the question: how can we adequately archive a history that is designed to be hidden and undervalued precisely because of how invaluable it is to our social, cultural, and economic fabric? </p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="alignleft size-full is-resized"> <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=http://blog.archive.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000.png"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=http://blog.archive.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000.png" alt="" class="wp-image-27978" width="228" height="228" srcset="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1000w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000-300x300.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 300w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000-150x150.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 150w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000-768x768.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 768w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000-624x624.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 624w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000-650x650.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 650w" sizes="(max-width: 228px) 100vw, 228px"></a> <figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> <em>Download the complete </em><a href="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/2024/10/30/vanishing-culture-a-report-on-our-fragile-cultural-record/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB">Vanishing Culture</a><em> report.</em> </figcaption> </figure> </div> <p>Women’s care work—both paid and unpaid—serves as the foundation on which the world’s postindustrial economies have functioned. Working mothers and caregivers often participate in what scholars refer to as the “double-day,” or the “double shift.” This is when (predominantly) women have an income-earning day job followed by unpaid caregiving labor they provide their families when they get home in the evening after “work.” Some have argued <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://karenbanes.medium.com/how-did-the-double-shift-somehow-become-the-triple-burden-e15e9ba5397b">women’s care work has expanded into a triple shift</a> whereby women have taken on more caregiving roles within their communities, adding significantly to gendered burdens of care.</p> <p>The invisible, and at times isolating, nature of care work contributes to the precarity of archiving women’s care labor history. To preserve this aspect of our cultural history, it’s vital to engage with those performing care work, as well as to understand the different ways that community care work is performed. Documenting caregiver culture on social media allows us to identify the contributions that caregivers and care communities make, along with the barriers they face.</p> <p>No one has helped me to understand this more than Cynthia “Cindy Ann” Espinoza. Cindy Ann and I met when we both attended Metropolitan Community Church in San Antonio. She graciously offered to participate in my research when I spoke at a community education session on Alzheimer’s disease that the church sponsored in collaboration with the local chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. We became Facebook friends shortly thereafter and I observed firsthand the virtual care work in which Cindy Ann participated, as well as the archive she had created of the “real world” care she provided her mother who passed from complications of Alzheimer’s dementia several years earlier.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"> <img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe5-4uJB6lUcIYGnOjSDsz3FKBcqPKD9i2rWP7AbNBC8Sn5V4M9DyfAmfjMceu9vKc5FBLlJCs3D9tbrU410YaW19e2Ypdt7Dh96w-B9yH4wbqNXMm2cpijWPIKn4eRmzgLdKFUt2sDr57DG89l1bCqzd_L?key=SUdKcTFVJUh1izabkC9Flg" alt=""> </figure> <p>On January 17, 2017, about a week before PBS aired the documentary <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://web.archive.org/web/20170509142229/http:/www.pbs.org:80/show/alzheimers-every-minute-counts/episodes/"><em>Alzheimer’s: Every Minute Counts</em></a><em>, </em>Cindy Ann posted a video excerpt from the film to her wall on Facebook. <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://www.facebook.com/NextAvenue/videos/1286571918072179/">The three-minute video</a>, with 4.4 million views and over 5,000 comments, was originally posted to Facebook by <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://www.nextavenue.org/">Next Avenue</a>, a PBS digital publication dedicated to issues facing individuals over 50 years old in the United States. The documentary follows Daisy Duarte, a Latina in Minneapolis, as she cares for her mother, Sonja, who is living with early-onset Alzheimer’s dementia.</p> <p>Next Avenue’s original post reads, “Millions of Americans will be able to relate to this story.” Cindy Ann identified herself as one of those millions of Americans almost five years after her mother’s passing from complications of Alzheimer’s dementia. Her post included the message, “I can relate to this woman in this story. Its the hardest thing to see ur parent dealing with Alzheimer”s ..but i did it for 9 yrs caring for my Mom i have no regrets. I would do it all again even if she didn’t remember who i was. I love & miss you dearly Mommy..” Cindy Ann watched Daisy wash her mother’s clothes, brush her teeth, apply her makeup, do her hair, show her how to hold a spoon, sit her in a recliner to watch television—all while exclusively speaking Spanish. The invisible care work Cindy Ann provided her mother nearly a decade before was publicly visible for the world to see.</p> <p>I also related to the family portrayed in the film. As I viewed the video, I was reminded of my own experience helping my grandmother care for my great-grandmother when the three of us lived together in San Antonio. This personal connection prompted me to comment with a note of: “thanks for sharing.” I appreciated the connection Cindy Ann created in that moment.</p> <p>Several of her other Facebook friends left comments in response to her post. There was one from an employee at a local adult daycare facility: “Yup and ur mama was a beautiful blessing for us at seniors 2000! I loved her so much <3;” and another from a current caregiver, “Aww I’m doing it right now. My heart aches every time I leave my mom. I pray for her mind to heal. It’s one of the ugliest diseases ever encountered! I pray they find a cure very soon.” Others were comments of support, such as: “Super hard, girl.” and “Amen.” </p> <p>The commenters were all women who either acknowledged Cindy Ann’s experience as their own or validated it with words of empathy and support. That winter morning, Cindy Ann’s public Facebook page was a place where women came together to share a commonality of experience in an online space. The care community helped to make visible their friend’s caregiving labor, as well as their own—in effect becoming a part of care labor history.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"> <img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcbdL6Yn3t44d9kc2FUqXR0iARSHgnzPoGzvOREkXo8sSdrr9Eb81fy51yEpsM0NyAEvDRP9_0j87TeZsAY9Bb_e8Sf5KI4Tcpz8fHHIzIrDpX6h8gzrRNUjJZiHZS4jiE1s55Qu5xQoGZjcR6jQECWcwjO?key=SUdKcTFVJUh1izabkC9Flg" alt=""> </figure> <p>Though the internet seems to be “forever”, the ephemeral nature of certain online spaces—such as social media pages and posts that can be deleted or websites that are no longer supported—necessitates an archival space such as the Internet Archive, which on May 9, 2017 captured the full-length documentary Cindy Ann posted about. Nowhere else on the internet can I access this film without a subscription, rental, or purchase. As a researcher, the Wayback Machine is an invaluable archival research tool that I rely on to provide accurate records of historical online spaces I can no longer access. However, we must find a way to better preserve social media pages such as Facebook, Instagram, X, and others where caregivers post and provide community care. The sheer volume of pages and posts may have made this a challenging task previously, but with new AI language learning models, we can begin to conceive of ways to more pointedly target and capture the rich history of online care communities and women’s virtual care work.</p> <p>To preserve a more complete and inclusive history of women’s caregiving labor, digital archivists must seek out the spaces where women are performing the work. The Internet Archive serves as a record that women’s care communities exist, have always existed, and will continue to exist. Documenting the challenges women caregivers face, the support they need, and their shared spaces of communal experience helps to create a more complete historical record of their cultural impact for future generations.</p> <p><strong>About the author</strong></p> <p>Amanda Gray Rendón is a community-based researcher, writer, oral historian, and documentary filmmaker.

We want to focus our energies in 2025 on helping local networks build capacity and grow.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"> <a href="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screen-Shot-2024-11-11-at-5.02.34-PM.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="685" height="298" src="https://blog.archive.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screen-Shot-2024-11-11-at-5.02.34-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-28055" srcset="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screen-Shot-2024-11-11-at-5.02.34-PM.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 685w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screen-Shot-2024-11-11-at-5.02.34-PM-300x131.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 300w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screen-Shot-2024-11-11-at-5.02.34-PM-624x271.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 624w" sizes="(max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px"></a> <figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> From the 2024 DWeb Camp Survey </figcaption> </figure> <p>So rather than host a DWeb Camp in Northern California in 2025, we will be using our resources to support regional events hosted by our DWeb partners.

href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=http://swilkwork.com">Swilk</a>, a queer Oakland-based weaver and installation artist, invites the community to the Internet Archive for a special show: an immersive art exhibit that breathes life into historic HIV artifacts. The piece, titled <em>When you’re looking for something, it’s important to know who was in love</em>, invites the public to connect the modern world to a history that was almost lost.</p> <p>The Archive hosts thousands of historic HIV/AIDS documents and web resources in its collection. These weavings are programmed to respond whenever one of the resources compiled for this project are uploaded, downloaded, or saved. As the public interacts with this history, the motors fire, making the weaving breathe and pulse. Most of these resources, and the voices that filled them, have since been scrubbed, or altered off the internet.</p> <p>The 80s and 90s were fraught with the suppression of lifesaving AIDS resources. When the internet became public, this all changed. Activists for the first time could distribute information without needing permission from distributors. Those isolated could find other people with a positive diagnosis and cope in community with one another. The internet played a critical role in HIV/AIDS activism, and as it slowly disappears from the world and the web, the Internet Archive has been instrumental in holding onto this history.</p><iframe loading="lazy" width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/O9Qa4CH5ilc?si=z7MVWNdBm3myUEBh" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> <p>Swilk’s work highlights the importance of the modern world connecting with our queer history, and invites the audience to reflect on its relevance today. </p> <p>“I grew up queer in an environment that taught me that to have HIV was a death sentence. It took me years to find the queer history of the HIV epidemic. It took me longer to learn about options like PreP. The more I learned about my history, and those that came before me, the more at home I felt in myself. This history, and the actions of those that made it, have bolstered my safety in the world at large.”</p> <p><em>When you’re looking for something, it’s important to know who was in love</em> will be shown in the Great Room, the Internet Archive’s repurposed chapel space, on <strong>November 9, 2024 from 7pm-9pm</strong>. The event is free and open to the public. Music and food provided. Limited edition screen prints will be made at the reception, people are invited to bring paper and fabrics to print on.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"> <a href="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Horizontal-IA-2.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://blog.archive.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Horizontal-IA-2-1024x683.png" alt="" class="wp-image-28040" srcset="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Horizontal-IA-2-1024x683.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1024w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Horizontal-IA-2-300x200.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 300w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Horizontal-IA-2-768x512.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 768w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Horizontal-IA-2-1536x1024.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1536w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Horizontal-IA-2-624x416.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 624w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Horizontal-IA-2.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1800w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></a> </figure> <p><strong>About Swilk: </strong></p> <p>Swilk is an Oakland-based weaver who has exhibited work around the world.

The catalyst for the project was the belief that we had done a good job of telling the story of Columbus in its first 150 years, but we were missing telling the story of the evolution of the city of the more recent past, as well as failing to record the present. With the object of capturing more recent changes to our city, we focused on archiving our city government website, as well as archiving social service websites, especially those helping new immigrants in our city. Because of the Community Webs program, we were able to take a snapshot of the diverse populations that were making their homes in Columbus, and the medium of web archiving was the only way we were able to tell the stories of these new immigrant communities including the Somalian, Nepalese, Bhutanese, and Mexican populations. To further this focus on migration patterns into Columbus, we felt it was important to make our neighborhood newspapers that we had on microfilm accessible because the neighborhood newspapers featured stories and obituaries on immigrant populations who came to Columbus in the mid-19<sup>th</sup> century and early 20<sup>th</sup> century.</p> <p>The newspapers had been preserved on microfilm for decades, but we were never able to digitize them due the time commitment involved for a project that size. During my time in the local history field in Columbus, it has become clear to me that our library patrons crave hyper-local history material that personally connects their stories to the place they live. While general local history topics about Columbus are popular, nothing is more popular in our library than content generated from Columbus neighborhoods. To finally get an opportunity to digitize neighborhood newspapers and make them accessible to our patrons was one that I could not pass up.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"> <a href="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/columbuscallpost62lync_16_0000-1-scaled.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://blog.archive.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/columbuscallpost62lync_16_0000-1-658x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-28022" width="655" height="1019" srcset="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/columbuscallpost62lync_16_0000-1-658x1024.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 658w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/columbuscallpost62lync_16_0000-1-193x300.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 193w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/columbuscallpost62lync_16_0000-1-768x1195.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 768w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/columbuscallpost62lync_16_0000-1-987x1536.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 987w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/columbuscallpost62lync_16_0000-1-1316x2048.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1316w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/columbuscallpost62lync_16_0000-1-624x971.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 624w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/columbuscallpost62lync_16_0000-1-scaled.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1645w" sizes="(max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px"></a> <figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://archive.org/details/columbuscallpost62lync_16/mode/2up?q%3Dmay%2B3%252C%2B1975" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Columbus Call and Post, May 3, 1975</em></a> </figcaption> </figure> <p>The most important newspaper for the library to digitize was the <em>Columbus Call and Post</em>, a historic Black newspaper that served Columbus from 1962-2007. For years patrons have asked us if the newspaper was digitized, but unfortunately all the library had was microfilm starting in 1972, which was very difficult to browse and ultimately did not serve our patron’s needs for accessibility. Because the Internet Archive performed optical character recognition (OCR) on the text of the newspapers, researchers can now use keyword searching to find an address, a business name, or search for personal names to find news stories that mention the people and places that they hold in their memory.</p> <p>Digitizing the microfilm of the <em>Call and Post</em> also complemented another project we began several years ago when we partnered with the<a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=http://www.kingartscomplex.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> King Arts Complex</a> to digitize the photograph archive of the iconic newspaper, which was donated to the organization in the mid-1990s. Many of the photographs in the collection have little to no information attached to them (information written on the back of the photographic prints, the name of the photographer, etc.). Digitization of the <em>Call and Post</em> provided additional information to match and apply to the photographs in the archive, adding an enhanced level of searchability and accessibility to this collection. The collections work together to preserve Black history in a way that was not possible before because much of the content from the <em>Call and Post</em> was unique and rare. Being able to bring this newspaper back into the public consciousness has been a thrilling experience for us.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"> <a href="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/kingarts_1332_medium.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="499" height="497" src="https://blog.archive.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/kingarts_1332_medium.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-28023" srcset="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/kingarts_1332_medium.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 499w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/kingarts_1332_medium-300x300.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 300w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/kingarts_1332_medium-150x150.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 150w" sizes="(max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px"></a> <figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> <em>Congressman </em><a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://digital-collections.columbuslibrary.org/digital/collection/kingarts/id/1334/rec/1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Adam Clayton Powell Jr. in Columbus</em></a><em>, Columbus Call and Post Photograph Collection</em> </figcaption> </figure> </div> <p>As the project continued to take shape, we felt it was important to represent Columbus neighborhoods geographically, which also enabled us to represent different economic and ethnically diverse communities throughout Columbus history.

<p>Philip Bump is a columnist for <em>The Washington Post</em> based in New York. He writes the weekly newsletter <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://wapo.st/3m3QTiy">How To Read This Chart</a>. He’s also the author of <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/696653/the-aftermath-by-philip-bump/"><em>The Aftermath</em></a><em>: The Last Days of the Baby Boom and the Future of Power in America</em>.</p> <p><strong>Caralee Adams: What does it mean for an individual journalist to have their work preserved? Why is it important to have easy access to news stories from the past?</strong></p> <p>Philip Bump: One of the nice things about my career has been that I’ve worked for outlets that I feel confident are doing their own preservation, like <em>The</em> <em>Washington Post</em>. I’m not particularly worried about losing access to my writing. However, it’s less of a concern for me than it is for other outlets, unfortunately. It is unquestionably the case that I find the Internet Archive useful and use it regularly for a variety of things—both for its preservation of online content and collection of closed captioning for news programs.</p> <p><strong>Any recent examples of when you’ve found the Internet Archive particularly useful?</strong></p> <p>I use the search tool on closed captioning more than anything else. The other day I was trying to find an old copy of a webpage. I was writing about Donald Trump’s comments on Medal of Honor recipients. As it turns out, there is not an immediately accessible resource for when Medals of Honor were granted to members of the military. You can see aggregated—how many there are—but you can’t see who was given a medal and when they served. I actually used the Internet Archive to see how the metrics changed between the beginning of Trump’s presidency and by the end of it. I was able to see that there were medals awarded to about 11 people who served during the War on Terror, three who served in Vietnam, and one during World War II. Then, I was able to go back and double check against the Trump White House archive, which is done by the National Archives, and see the people to whom he had given this award. That’s a good example of being able to take those two snapshots in time and then compare them in order to see what the difference was to get this problem solved.</p> <p><strong>Why is it important for the public to have free public access to an archive of the news for television or print?</strong></p> <p>It’s the same reason that it’s important, in general, to have any sort of archive: it increases accountability and increases historical accuracy. The Internet Archive is essential at ensuring that we have an understanding of what was happening on the internet at a given point in time. That is not something that is constantly useful, but it is something that is occasionally extremely useful. I do a lot of work in politics and get to see what people are saying at certain points in time, which are important checks and accountability for elected officials. The public can know what they were saying when they were running in the primary as compared with the general [election]. The Archive allows anyone to be able to get information from websites that are no longer active. If you’re looking for something and you have the old link to Gawker or the old link to a tweet, you can often [find] it archived. The Internet Archive doesn’t capture everything—it couldn’t possibly do so. But it captures enough to generally answer the questions that need to get answered. There’s nowhere else that does that. There are other archiving sites, but none that do so as comprehensively, or none with an archive that goes back that far.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"> <a href="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/2024/10/30/vanishing-culture-a-report-on-our-fragile-cultural-record/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1000" height="1000" src="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=http://blog.archive.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000.png" alt="" class="wp-image-27978" srcset="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 1000w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000-300x300.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 300w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000-150x150.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 150w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000-768x768.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 768w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000-624x624.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 624w,https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/V_C_COVER_IG_SQUARE_1000-650x650.png?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB 650w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px"></a> <figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> <em>Download the full </em><a href="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/2024/10/30/vanishing-culture-a-report-on-our-fragile-cultural-record/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB">Vanishing Culture</a><em> report.</em> </figcaption> </figure> <p><strong>Has any of your journalism vanished from the public? Do you have any examples where you’ve been looking for something and it’s been missing?</strong></p> <p>Yes. One of the challenges is that multimedia content has often, in the past, been overlooked. There are old news reports that I’ve been unable to find because they’re on video in the era before there was a lot of accessibility and transcripts. Therefore, yes, there are certainly things like that which come up with some regularity. Also, particularly in the era of 2005 to 2015, there were a lot of independent sites that had useful news reports—particularly since we’re talking about the cast of political characters that have been around in the public eye at that point in time. It’s often the case that it’s hard to track those things down. Or if you’re trying to track down the original source or verify a rumor, you might need to dip into the Archive. There are a lot of sites from that era of “bespoke” blogs that the Internet Archive often captures. </p> <p><strong>How does limited access to historical data or previous coverage impact you as a journalist?</strong></p> <p>It is hard to say, because relatively speaking, I am advantaged by the fact that I live in this era. If I were doing this in 1990, [I’d use] basically whatever was at the New York Public Library and on microfiche. It is far better than it used to be, but the amount of content being produced is also far larger. It is both a positive and a negative that it is far easier to do that sort of research here from my desk at home than it would possibly have been 30 years ago. In fact, I was working on a project where I relied heavily on a local newspaper in a small town in Pennsylvania that wasn’t available online. I literally had to hire someone in the town to go to the library, find [coverage from] the particular date and the local paper and to get the scans done. It cost me hundreds of dollars, but that was the only way to do it. You can see how getting these things done is problematic and challenging.</p> <p><strong>When Paramount deleted the MTV News Archive in June, there was a lot of dismay, but some say it was frivolous, disposable, and kind of meant to be thrown away. How do you feel about that?</strong></p> <p>My first writing gig online was at MTV News in college, so that actually had a personal resonance for me. I was at Ohio State in the early to mid 1990s, and I got this little internship with MTV News. I wrote one piece about this band called The Hairy Patt Band. It ended up on the MTV News website. I was very excited. I haven’t seen that in 30 years. It’s one of those things where I wondered what ever happened to that story or if it exists anywhere, in any form. So, that [news] actually had resonance. It’s a bummer. Is it as important to maintain the archives of MTV News as it is <em>The Washington Post</em>? I’m biased, but I would say, no. But it is still a loss of culture—and it is a unique loss of culture. This was a unique and novel form of information that was emergent in the 1990s and now is lost. In the moment, its very existence captured the culture in a way that is worth preserving.</p> <p><strong>How do you feel about the future of digital preservation of news, data, and information?</strong></p> <p>I’m more pessimistic than I used to be. I came of age with the internet. When it was new, I used to describe it as the emergence from a new dark age. We had all this information and there was no more going back. All this existed. Everything was online, and we had archives. Now, we see, in part because the scale has increased so quickly that economic considerations come into play, and all of a sudden… the internet isn’t just an endless archive anymore. There are very few places that are doing what libraries do to capture these things on microfiche or store books for the public’s benefit. There is so much of it and that becomes the problem.</p> <p><strong>Why is it important to pay attention to this issue and preserve journalism for future reporters?</strong></p> <p>It is obviously the case that we are creating information, culture, and benchmarks for society faster than we can figure out how we’re going to make sure they’re preserved. I think that’s probably always been the case, except that what’s different now is that we are more cognizant of the process of preservation and the challenges of preservation. We expect there to be this thing that exists forever. We don’t yet know how to balance the interest in having as few things be ephemeral as possible, versus the value in doing that… maybe it’s not even possible to preserve everything in the way that we would want to at scale. We have created a process by which it is possible to record and observe nearly everything, and now we’re realizing that that is potentially in conflict with our desire to also store and preserve all this information indefinitely.</p> <p><strong>Anything you’d like to add?</strong></p> <p>I think it’s worth noting that preservation is one of the few areas in which I think artificial intelligence bears some potential benefit. One of the things that I’ve long found frustrating is that <em>The New York Times</em>, <em>The Washington Post</em>, and other major news outlets, have enormous storehouses of information—not all of it textual. <em>The New York Times</em> must have, in its archives, photos of every square inch of New York City at some point in time over the course of the past 100 years. Artificial intelligence is a great tool for indexing and documenting. We now have tools that allow us to go deeper into our archives and extract more information from them, which I think is a positive development, and is something I’ve advocated for a long time publicly. Only with the advent of artificial intelligence does large-scale preservation become something that seems feasible. One can go through the National Archive and extract an enormous amount of information that is currently stored there in an accessible form, which saves someone from having to stumble upon a particular image. I think that is beneficial. I don’t think that necessarily solves the storage at scale issue, but it does address the fact that so much information is currently locked away and inaccessible, which is another facet of the challenge. </p> <p><strong>About the author</strong></p> <p>Caralee Adams is a journalist based in Bethesda, Maryland.

The ability to add text layers to scanned manuscripts unlocked documentary treasure chests containing centuries of written records, correspondence, and prose—all within the reach of the Aruba institutions. </p> <p>After a pilot project in 2022–2023, called “Coleccion Aruba,” between the Internet Archive, the National Library of Aruba, and the National Archives of Aruba, the Aruba subcollection of the Internet Archive became one of the first online platforms where <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://archive.org/details/aruba?tab%3Dcollection%26query%3Dhtr">full-text search for handwritten documents was made available</a>. This functionality was completely integrated into its full-text search capabilities, with words and phrases in centuries-old documents becoming just as easy to find as words and phrases written down or spoken as part of the current news cycle. Few (commercial) archival platforms offer full-text search for handwritten sources separately, let alone fully integrated or at no cost, like the Internet Archive does.</p> <p>In April 2024, the Internet Archive, together with their Aruban partners, <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://archive.org/details/BNA-DIG-AWEMAINTA-2024-04-13/page/19/">announced plans to attempt to digitize all works published in the Papiamento language</a>, enlarging the online footprint of the Papiamento language even more, starting with the works held by Biblioteca Nacional Aruba in their <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://www.bibliotecanacional.aw/pages/arubiana-caribiana/">National and special collections</a>. These works will be digitized in-house by the institutions themselves, and to assist in this effort, the Internet Archive has pledged to send a <a href="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/2015/10/22/special-book-collections-come-online-with-the-table-top-scribe/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB">book scanner</a> to the island to increase the scanning capacity on the island. After having visited their new Coleccion Aruba partners, the Internet Archive—together with Aruban national broadcaster Telearuba— have also joined forces to <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://archive.org/search?query%3Dtelearuba%26sort%3D-date">digitally preserve all contents of Telearuba’s livestream and TV offerings</a>. Once combined with the aforementioned future automatic captioning support for Papiamento, <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://archive.org/details/aruba?sort%3D-date%26and%255B%255D%3Dmediatype%253A%2522movies%2522">thousands of hours of Aruba’s audiovisual heritage will also be opened up</a> for full-text search, for further research and for use in Aruba’s education system, which is currently transitioning <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://archive.org/details/BNA-DIG-ARUB-9789990469417/page/n3">from a colonial-era education system completely taught in Dutch</a> to a <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://archive.org/details/EA-DIG-INTEGRAAL-TAALBELEID-SUMMARY-EN-2024">multilingual model mother tongue-based education system</a>.</p> <p>During the global COVID-19 pandemic, the use of online resources and demand for digital access to information increased greatly: online access was <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://archive.org/details/BNA-DIG-BONDIA-2019-12-14/page/n3">not just expected</a>, but became a basic necessity and a direct life-line for many people. Luckily, with Aruba being a small-scale society like, the library was able to meet <a href="https://blog-archive-org.translate.goog/2020/05/18/when-an-island-shuts-down-aruba-the-national-emergency-library/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB">this increased demand by rapidly operationalizing the “short lines” that exist between them and local book authors and publishers</a>, by making available crucial resources, such as Papiamento language literary works and essential resources like daily newspapers —free of cost, to not only Aruban students, but also to the general public.</p> <p>The momentum set into action in 2020 still has not slowed down; rather, it seems to be increasing. More and more local authors choose to forego all the increasing costs typically associated with print publishing, instead choosing to publish directly to the online Aruba Collection and the Internet Archive. Aruba’s efforts to digitize and preserve its culture and documentary heritage have piqued the interest of more international audiences as well, with other (Dutch) Caribbean island nations and territories showing interest in replicating <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://coleccion.aw/show/?ANA-BNA-DIG-PAPER-HERNANDEZ-SCHOLING-FULL-SEPTEMBER-2023">the model implemented in Aruba</a>, and with media outlets like <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://www.wired.com/story/internet-archive-backed-up-aruba-caribbean-island/">Wired</a>, <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/10/24126091/the-internet-archive-aruba-historic-materials-digital-preservation">The Verge</a>, and <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=http://org/newshour/show/as-climate-change-threatens-island-nations-some-turn-to-digitizing-their-history">PBS News Weekend</a>, as well as regional news outlets like <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://antilliaansdagblad.com/aruba/29268-aandacht-voor-opslag-cultureel-erfgoed">Antilliaans Dagblad</a> and <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://caribischnetwerk.ntr.nl/2024/04/26/arubaans-erfgoed-in-zijn-geheel-op-internet-archives">Caribisch Netwerk</a>, also dedicating attention to the “Aruba story.” For example, <em>Wired</em> author Kate Knibbs even mentioned <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DfAWT6_Lky9g%26t%3D76s">during a recent Slate podcast that she suspected Aruba’s digital preservation efforts being part of “a really effective guerilla tourism campaign […] aimed at dorks.“</a></p> <p>All things considered, future prospects look encouraging: Aruba’s institutions and the Internet Archive are in it for the long haul, and even intend to expand their efforts beyond the white shores of sunny Aruba.</p> <p><strong>About the author</strong></p> <p><a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://www.linkedin.com/in/scholing/">Peter Scholing</a> is a digital librarian, researcher and information scientist working for Biblioteca Nacional Aruba, Aruba’s National Library.
