Currently doing some marking. A reminder to everyone involved in archives and collections: digitisation is not preservation. If I digitise a box of records and put the files on a USB stick I haven't preserved a thing. It's all about what you do with the files post-digitisation. #archives #digipres

I hadn't planned to do anything particular for #WDPD this year, but when inspiration hits who am I to deny it?
So, here's my contribution for 2025, all put together since 10:30 this morning! A bit of fun aimed at everyone's "favourite" standard... 😝

This is the way. I had 'True North' - the amazing little piece of theme music they let us use in Glasgow 2022 - playing yesterday as the Ipres Express touched down in Wellington. Aka True South. #ipres2025
Last night I celebrated the start of #iPRES2025 with a gig by the amazing Peatbog Faeries - who had a loose connection with the iPRES conference in Glasgow in 2022! Amazing musicians. My ears are still ringing!
