Dear Colleagues, I’d like to invite you to join Sebastian Majstorovic & Andreas Segerberg from the Saving Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Initiative for a talk and workshop on archiving digital content on Monday, May 15 at 1 PM in Tisch Library, Rm. 223. Registration and full details at https://tufts.libcal.com/calendar/tischevents/web-archiving. Saving Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Online<https://sucho.org> (SUCHO) is an international grassroots initiative of over 1,500 volunteers, which supports the digital preservation of Ukrainian cultural heritage. Collectively, the SUCHO volunteers have archived over 50 TB of data, including several thousand Ukrainian websites, war memes, books, artworks and many other digital cultural objects. In this talk, the speakers will recount how the initiative mobilised complete strangers across the world to preserve Ukrainian cultural data and explain how it continues to support the ongoing digitization efforts in Ukraine. The talk will also outline important lessons for the future of digital preservation. The SUCHO experience has convinced the speakers that everyone can become a digital archivist and that in a world of ephemeral digital-born content, grassroots archiving is needed more than ever. To that end, the speakers will share their thoughts on which tools, approaches and strategies could help turn more people into digital archivists. This talk will be followed by a workshop that will introduce people to web archiving tools and approaches including Wayback Machine, ArchiveWeb.page, and ReplayWeb.page. This event is open to all.
