This is so cool! I loved studying and training to become a film archivist.
Curious about film preservation? We're delighted to be working with @_CreativeAccess to recruit for our trainee film conservator! If you're interested in joining our team, we’d love to hear from you. theb.fi/3UC6kAU

It's World Digital Preservation Day!
New trends quickly make cutting-edge tech obsolete. At the Bodleian we maintain a digital preservation outreach collection with samples of digital tech from decades pasts.
Throughout today, we'll take a romp through the past…

Today is World #DigitalPreservation Day. #WDPD2021

#WDPD2021 is a big day for us. And all libraries. And possibly everyone, in fact.
Why is digital preservation important to you?

Continuing our celebration of #WDPD2021, did you know we recently completed a ten-year project to digitise thousands of works in Chinese?
One hundred thousand images from pre-modern Chinese collections are now freely available worldwide to anyone.

Libraries love our digital collections! But the software used to manage them lasts only a few years. The Oxford Common File Layout addresses these challenges, so we were delighted to hear that it has just been nominated for @dpc_chat’s 2020 Digital Preservation Awards.
Next to be unveiled, it's the Finalists for the @SoftwareSaved #DPA2020 Award for Research & Innovation!
