Mānawatia a Matariki!

The iPRES 2025 Local Organising Committee is proud to celebrate Matariki, the Māori New Year. The return of Matariki (the Pleiades star cluster) in the winter sky marks the Māori New Year - a time for remembrance, celebrating the present, and looking to the future.

Aotearoa New Zealand’s National Digital Forum (NDF) @ndfnz.bsky.social held its conference in Wellington this week, and digital preservation was a hot topic! Ngā mihi nui to our friends at NDF for sharing our enthusiasm for #digipres and hope to see you in November!
