Aha! Like seeing an old friend up there onscreen. The classic OAIS model graphic. Been a while since I've seen it.

The most important research moment is not when the researcher opens the [archival] box, but when the archivist fills the box. I like that. Especially in the context of underrepresented communities and partially represented topics.

Just settling down for "Latin American Feminist Organizations in the Archived Web" at the
#BDCAM25
conference. Great chance over the next few days to immerse myself in current digital scholarship activity. Turns out all the formal web archiving programmes are exclusively in the global north.

Sitting in the Clarivate session on their activity in the AI space. The next wave is here 'actionable AI'. They can reason, plan and execute, apparently. Must be how Clarivate is coming up with their strategy at the moment.

Susan Pui San Lok is rehearsing Stuart Hall's question from 1999, "Whose heritage?". How have artists works been names and described and who has been neglected? How can Machine Learning be deployed to enable us to see where the gaps are?

At the

conference. About to hear about the Transforming Collections: Reimagining Art, Nation and Heritage project. Did they enable digital cross-search of collections, to surface patterns of bias, to uncover hidden and unexpected connections? (That was the aim).

I was in Lewes last night for the bonfire celebrations. Difficult to describe exactly how eccentric it is. Cosplay morris dancers doing mardi gras/day of the dead parades with flaming torches and papal effigies. Deeply bizarre but highly entertaining. Then Trump this morning. What a come down.

Ed Jewel from Libraries Connected giving us big numbers for the social benefits that public libraries deliver. £6 return on every £1 invested. £3.4bn worth of social value per year. Impressive! (Might have to look under the hood at those numbers).

Some discussion in the Cloud Computing panel earlier at

about creating a 'community of practice' (vendor agnostic) group to share experiences about using (or not using) ("clouding" or "de-clouding"??) platforms for preservation. Interesting.
