So great to hear about the use of #AusEaaSI / #EaaSI in Australia. Hearing how it is also really useful for raising awareness of digital preservation is validating. Reminds me of my post on Digital Patinas www.dpconline.org/blog/wdpd/th... #ipres2025

Rosslyn Metz from Emory university's keynote gives a lot of food for thought.

As a side point of his keynote, Simon explained that the licencing of .tv domain is a good revenue generator for Tuvalu. Wiki tells me it was 8.4% of Tuvaluan government revenue in 2019!
