"Using Al to help work with data" at the UK National Archives - super interesting to not only get an idea about the technical pipeline, but also about the environmental impact (in terms we can all understand)

#BDCAM25 How to address these silences & biases?
1. Social media archiving
2. Raising awareness about the importance of websites and providing support for activists to create one
3. Prioritizing countries and topics that are underrepresented
4. Support #WebArchiving initiatives in Latin America
April 2, 2025 at 1:36 PM
Rosario Rogel-Salazar's & Alan Colín-Arce's #BDCAM25 presentation "Latin American Feminist Organizations in the Archived Websites" shows the huge divide between the Global South & the Global North in terms of #WebArchiving, especially websites for black, migrant, & indigenous women

#BDCAM25 Many technical, conceptual & practical issues when doing research on / with large born-digital archives (especially #WebArchives)
• Data format
• Data volume
• Data processing
• Data "visibility"
• Data derivation
• Provenance
• Acquisition
• Border/boundary
• Breadth
• Ellipses (elisions)

Sunny spring day in London for the start of the #BDCAM25 Born Digital Collections, Archives & Memory conference www.sas.ac.uk/news-events/...
(I don't know why, but from the very first time I saw it years ago University of London's Senate House Building made me think of Orwell's Ministry of Truth)
