Had a bit of scrolling on Ancestry this afternoon. Any sleuths recognise what my g.g.g.granddad did (the bit in brackets). I was a terrible paleography student!

P.S. as a Hooper, I'm pleased to see we also had a Cooper in the family!

Attending Aotearoa Wellington #ipres2025 virtually means that #wdpd feels like an extra long celebration this year. So while it's still 8:00 on Wednesday here, I feel like I can already post Happy World Digital Preservation Day post 🎉

National Digital Preservation Services Finland share a key point on the slide grabbed... "Collaboration is the Key to success".

They provide a digital preservation service to a range of partners, and so pre ingest tools (such as ones that provide validation and quality assurance)

How many formats are there?
@anjacks0n.bsky.social presents a paper on seeing if we can answer the question.

Some detective work gets him to the number 12k (I think)

Ooph, this hit home.
Rosslyn Metz from Emory university's keynote gives a lot of food for thought.

Is openness always good? Should we reconsider our openness in a world focused on exploitation?

#iPRES2025 Keynote by The Hon. Simon Kofe from Tuvalu. He discusses the sovereign rights in precarious times thanks to climate change.
They could be the first digital nation: the first to exist fully online without a physical country. And he discusses what that may look like

First #iPRES2025 session. Workshop 9: hands on high fidelity web archiving with Browsertrix

Ilya is giving a great overview of the tool. It's very user friendly.

I chose to practice with our student union site (so many ads, and links out!!)

Sharing a pic of this mars rover model I made today because I'm quite impressed with it.
But not sharing how long a model with a 7+ age on it took me to complete
