Librarians racing to back up Ukraine’s digital archives

Posted by Kristen Fredericksen (she/her/hers) on April 8, 2022 at 3:05 pm

Hi,

This is my first time posting, so I hope this topic is appropriate. There\’s a very interesting article in the Washington Post today about digitally archiving Ukraine\’s historical and cultural resources. It\’s food for thought, given that a digital archive can save replicas of physical documents that might be destroyed in wartime, but the digital archives themselves can be lost if the servers are destroyed.
