Kate Murray<p>New blog post about the Library of Congress 2025-2026 updates to the Recommended Formats Statement (RFS). A few changes to note related to Design and 3D formats (mostly just rescoping), updates to email-related metadata to better align with EA-PDF and continued work to document digital accessibility support in file formats listed as "acceptable" in the RFS.

Archivist Liz<p>This blog has been a very long time in the making. 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 a few more people find their way to our catalogue as well! <a href="https://www.aip.org/library/ex-libris-universum/inside-the-international-atomic-energy-agency-archives-unit" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aip.org/library/ex-libris-univ</span><span class="invisible">ersum/inside-the-international-atomic-energy-agency-archives-unit</span></a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/arhives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>arhives</span></a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/digipres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>digipres</span></a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/historyofscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>historyofscience</span></a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>physics</span></a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/nuclearphysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nuclearphysics</span></a></p>
vga256<p>over the years i've become more interested in game/software ephemera than the software itself. </p><p>for example, few people under 20 have grown up with a local computer store or brick &amp; mortar store that sells boxed games. biking over to the computer store to line up, pay cash, and buy a game you've been saving for months has become an alien experience.</p><p>a few days ago i bought some old PC boxed games from a guy that had them in storage for decades. of all of them, i was the least excited about Millionaire. it looked like the kind of lazy portware that probably started its life as a text simulation on the Apple II and made its way to every godforsaken architecture.</p><p>tucked away on the last page of the manual was an absolute treasure: the original VISA transaction record for the day the game was bought, for $52.88, on July 20, 1985 at the Real Canadian Superstore in Edmonton, AB, Canada. This is before Canada had the goods and services tax (GST), and when Alberta was abbreviated to Alta.</p><p>the owner stapled it on to the warranty registration card, just in case he had to return it or RMA it some day.</p><p>Superstore #1572 is still there, in the north end. while i knew they had always sold video games, i had no idea that they sold IBM XT software way back in 1985.</p><p>(for anyone not in Canada, Superstore is a national discount grocery chain.)</p><p>even better, no one under the age of 30 will have seen these credit card transaction records. they were made using a "credit card imprinter" - a sliding mechanism that pressed the card number through several layers of invoice and carbon copy paper. The invoice papers were usually two or three layered - a white and pink copy for the business, and a yellow copy went to the customer.</p><p><a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/vintageComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vintageComputing</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/softwarePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>softwarePreservation</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/digiPres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>digiPres</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>canada</span></a></p>

Jon Uriarte<p>I'm looking for some advice to preserve a photography <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/archive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>archive</span></a> (including both digitised analogue and born-digital photos). </p><p>Currently the archive is stored in two HDD drives we bought a few years ago and we are looking to get new ones. I wonder if it would make sense to switch to SDDs although I believe they are not so trustworthy on the long term? Worth mentioning that the drives won't move most of the time. Am I right sticking to HDDs? Any recommended brands/models?</p><p>We are also looking to have a third copy on the "cloud" which ideally would get updated automatically. At the same time, we are working on a site to search and visualise the humbnails of the archive remotely. We are looking for a company that would offer the long term remotely updatable archiving as well as hosting the site. I would like to avoid AWS and other big tech company services and maybe work with open source, smaller and maybe more archiving-specialised companies.</p><p>I've been working with photography for many years and I'm very interested on digital preservation but I don't have much knowledge on this specific areas so boosts and any help on this would be much appreciated!
