#icabarcelona2025 Hope enables us to act. We are essential duty bearers for human rights - Trudy Huskamp Petersen

#icabarcelona2025 Archivists also need the authority to monitor compliance with retention schedules (and the responsibility to create records). If the archivists cannot enforce this, they may need to quit and/or inform the public

#icabarcelona2025 Keynote from Trudy Huskamp Petersen: Hope as an Archivist’s Discipline. One of our fundamental responsibilities is to make decisions on what to preserve for the future

#icabarcelona2025 Last paper of the first session: Prisons Museum: An archive with (spatial) site-documentation, records and witness accounts

#icabarcelona2025 The project working with the Moklen community in Thailand was challenging for several reasons. Moklen is endangered, and there is no written version of the language. Most of the cultural heritage is intangible. They agreed with the community on what to document

Last day of #icabarcelona2025, starting with a paper by Naya Sucha-xaya on efforts with Thailand's Moklen indigenous and marginalized sea people communities through the "Moklen Community Language and Culture Repository" project

Ending the day at #icabarcelona2025 in a workshop by @artefactual.com showing a prototype for Records in Common (RiC) in AtoM. This is definitely one for nerds, but it also makes RiC a little less intimidating

Que legal! Shirt promoting systematic digital preservation from the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo. The shirt includes a QR code to this link: proged.es.gov.br/preservacao-... #icabarcelona2025 #digipres

#icabarcelona2025 The second 🇧🇷 presentation was on a survey (?) of Brazilian archives on how well they fulfill requirements for trusted digital repositories (leaning on ISO 16363, Drambora, @nestornetzwerk.bsky.social , NDSA, Core Trust Seal). This was done in/by(?) the network Rede Cariniana

#icabarcelona2025 The first 🇧🇷 presentation was on a maturity model, which could be submitted through an online interface (that is still being expanded) #digipres

#icabarcelona2025 I’ve sat in on two presentations by Brazilian archivists on evaluating maturity and conformance to standards of trusted digital repositories. I don’t speak Spanish, but I’m mostly managing. But I’d be doing better with Brazilian Portuguese 😅

#icabarcelona2025 Response from a user of UNHCR Archives: “I was overwhelmed with emotions when I reviewed the information you provided. It's very important to me and my family... 1/2

#icabarcelona2025 The economic context of UNHCR: justifying money spent on (digital) archiving, records management and preservation: how many nutrition bars for those facing extreme malnutrition could be provided for that money?

#icabarcelona2025 @unhcr.org Archives have seen a surge of interest in research and academic/publication output

#icabarcelona2025 Now hearing Heather Faulkner of #UNHCR on the UNHCR Archives: 25 years of access and impact. UNHCR has suffered devastating budget cuts this year 💔

When searching for it, the AI overview seems to know more about the Open Fixed-layout Document (OFD) format than the search results! I'm guessing this is because the AI version is essentially translating Chinese sources that the search isn't showing me? #digipres

#icabarcelona2025 Alan Cobley mentioned an editorial on AI & the Caribbean in the Jamaica Gleaner (including risks of replicating & prioritizing Western thoughts & culture, especially based on the selection of training data). Also recommended for news on Melissa (BlueSky won’t let me post the url 🙄)

It’s wild that Caribbean archival collections held in institutions of the Global North (aka former colonizers) are behind paywalls or only available by paying for paper or digital copies, including for those from the Caribbean. Example: digitized newspapers #icabarcelona2025

#icabarcelona2025 Archiving in the Face of Disaster: the climate conditions in the Caribbean, as well as the challenges of hurricanes, high winds, and in some cases volcanic activities. Extremely relevant as #hurricanemelissa hits Jamaica 💔

It isn’t surprising, but it’s still heartbreaking that so many archives from former colonies were removed from the countries where they were created and/or deliberately destroyed. Few (almost none?) have been restored to the countries that should rightly hold them #icabarcelona2025

#icabarcelona2025 2nd Keynote by Alan Cobley on Decoloniality, Reparations, Digitization and AI: the new paradigms and new technologies shaping Caribbean Archives in the 21st century.

Starting this morning at #icabarcelona2025 at a session on digital preservation. Learning about ODF/A, a format developed in China to meet Chinese standards. It’s similar to PDF/A. I’m embarrassed to admit I hadn’t heard of it before. #digipres

Ethical Questions: -Are we using AI as a transformative tool, or a novelty one? -How do we ensure archivists remain in the driver's seat? -Are we using AI to illuminate archival literacy, or sidestep it? -How do we safeguard professional expertise in an AI-driven world?

#icabarcelona2025 Khali Allahmagani brought up an interesting use case for AI for transcription: Ajami Hausa (Hausa written in a special, Arabic script).

#icabarcelona2025 Just heard a presentation in Spanish by Riaño, John Agustin and Pirela, Johann Enrique (Universidad de La Salle, Colombia) on the possibilities and risks of AI for archives.

Also, is it just me, or has the #icabarcelona2025 app crashed? Right now I can’t see what sessions are going on, so it’s a bit difficult to figure out where I want to be

#icabarcelona2025 The first keynote on AI-Readiness for Archives concluded with emphasis that by maintaining and preserving #fairdata, archives can be AI ready in a way that is tool-neutral. This is more important than being prepared to use specific tools - the tools will change.

#icabarcelona2025 AI readiness is not static. Requires iteration, adaptation, data stewardship

#icabarcelona2025 on the topic of AI readiness, open FAIR data is an important basis, including the idea that #FAIRdata should be machine actionable

#icabarcelona keynote on the “openness” of AI

#icabarcelona2025 1st Keynote by Merce Crosas on AI-Ready Archives

Going back and forth between devices, so if you only follow me here, you’re missing lots of posts. @[email protected] will always be my main account

Can’t even begin to keep up with all the interesting presentations at #icabarcelona2025. Great presentation on geohistorical resources, again using @transkribus.bsky.social as part of an AI workflow.

Absolutely 🔥presentation by @iisg-amsterdam.bsky.social at #icabarcelona2025 of a new framework for assessing archival success, inspired by critical archival theory and methodologies to measure (the quality of) healthcare based on Structure - Process - Outcome.

First sessions of #icabarcelona2025. I caught (most) of the @library-archives.canada.ca presentation on the use of @transkribus.bsky.social and AI to extract information from structured and unstructured finding aids. Very interesting!

Arrived in Barcelona for #ICABarcelona2025, but it’s too early to check in or even do the conference registration. So I’m getting a coffee nearby and dreaming of a nap and a shower. Sigh

#archivtagAT #archivtag2025 Andreas Rauber plädiert für Archivierung als intergrierten Teil von Informationssysteme. Er stellte auch kurz DBrepo vor

Heute und morgen bin ich beim #archivtagAT #archivtag2025. Es fängt mit einem Keynote von Andreas Rauber zu Erhaltungsplanung (Preservation Planning) in digitaler Langzeitarchivierung. #digipres

#archivtagAT #archivtag2025 Andreas Rauber zeigt ein Beispiel von einem PDF, auch HTML hat oder als Virtual Machine gespeichert werden kann, die dann erweiterte Funktionen haben. Was passiert, wenn man so ein PDF normalisiert oder migriert wird? #wtfPDF

Last summer I visited the Niels Bohr Library and Archives of the American Institute of Physics. That visit turned into an interview (Allison Rein interviewed me). Very excited to share this. I hope it will help more people find our catalogue! #historyofscience www.aip.org/library/ex-l...
