Why preserve your old analogue media?

At Digital Memory Box, we help families and institutions digitise old tapes, but we also advise them on what to keep.

I'd love to hear your thoughts: How do you decide what to preserve?

White mould is the end of the line for VHS tapes. Preserving them for future generations is so important.

If any PhDeers are feeling alone in their journey, I can highly recommend following @tarabrabazon.bsky.social she unknowingly got me to the finish line @thephdplace.bsky.social
The PhD is intricate. Granular. Complex. What is remarkable is how the PhD is diversifying, particularly through part-time modes. Let's talk about this transformation - and how to enable success. New Post. #PhDSky - www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXlY...

“Be like a tree: keep growing “
Don’t be glum about the long, cold winter. Look around: the trees are busy, not sleeping. When the temperature permits, cells in this bud are dividing, maturing into flowers, leaves, stems. The cambium, maker of all the trees, is preparing for its spring festivities. Be like a tree: keep growing.

As a Thanatologist this is a grief theory that makes sense to me.

Brilliant journalism.

“So it’s not about you, it’s not about your farm and the fact you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social speaks to Jeremy Clarkson at the farmers’ protest in Westminster where thousands of farmers are protesting the government’s inheritance tax plans.

Just one more nod to The Resistance. Thank you @therickwilson.bsky.social the work you do is noticed across the pond. Sadly you will need another book in the
#ETTD series.
