The Day of Digital Archives is making a return: October 12, 2012 you
can help raise awareness of digital archives and digital preservation
issues through this community blog/twitter project. On this day,
archivists, digital humanists, programmers, or anyone else creating,
using, or managing digital archives are asked to devote some of their
social media output (i.e. tweets, blog posts, youtube videos, etc.) to
describing their work with digital archives. By collectively documenting
what we do, we will be answering questions like: What are digital
archives? Who uses them? How are they created and managed? Why are they
important?
Last year's Day of Digital Archives featured
more than 50 bloggers (many of whose posts can be viewed here through
the archives) and more than 700 tweets. The topics of posts and tweets
covered a broad range of activities from early discussions of the need
for particular tools to announcements of completed products. Others used
the platform to discuss things like education and training,
collaborative initiatives, gaps in tools or shared knowledge, or the
activities involved in planning or carrying out projects.
Do
you create, manage, or use digital archives? Would you like to
participate? Well then, drop me a line at
gretchen[.]gueguen[@]gmail[.]com with your contact info and I’ll add you
to the list!
You could contribute in a couple of different ways:
1.
Create a blog post at http://dayofdigitalarchives.blogspot.com/
for the 12th of October about some aspect of your work with Digital
Archives on that day. It could be a really specific exploration of a
single activity on that day. Or it could be a broader topic not really
related to that specific day (What kinds of tools you could really use
to process a born-digital collection).
2. Write a
post to your own blog similar to that described above and post a
trackback to the Day of Digital Archives blog or let me know and I'll
post a link to it.
3. Tweet throughout the day about your work with digital archives using the #DayofDigArc hashtag.
Hope to hear from you soon!
