NASA has been quietly taking Shuttle documentation offline. The Columbia STS-107 FMEA/CIL files aren't even on the Wayback Machine. Same pattern as Apollo: the F-1 blueprints survive, the people who knew how to build it don't. 11 years at KSC on the Main Propulsion System, and I kept copies. 2,004 documents, images and launch voice tapes on the Internet Archive, and at Zenodo with a DOI and per-file checksums: gandalfddi.github.io/shuttle.html #SpaceShuttle #NASA #SpaceHistory #DigitalPreservation #Space

Per me, l'unico modo di intendere la preservazione digitale dei videogiochi è: andare a scavare dove nessuno ha mai scavato prima, sperando non sia troppo tardi. #retrogaming #commodore #commodorepet #digitalpreservation

3/3 Today, games, magazines, and digital works can disappear overnight, taking decades of creative history with them.

🧵 Some publishers and news organizations are blocking the Wayback Machine from archiving their journalism, cutting off access to the public record. 📣 If you rely on the Wayback Machine to preserve news & history, tell them not to block web archiving. ✏️ Sign the open letter to keep journalism preserved 👇 https://www.savethearchive.com/NewsLeaders @fight@mastodon.fightforthefuture.org #SaveTheArchive #WaybackMachine #PressFreedom #DigitalPreservation

They deleted queer history from the National Archives. Stripped "transgender" and "queer" from Stonewall's digital presence. But you don't erase a people by deleting metadata. The documents held. Primary sources are harder to kill than webpages. We're still here. https://twp.ai/4hr1bb #LGBTQHistory #Archives #Erasure #Resilience #QueerRights #DigitalPreservation #TransRights #Trans #Queer #LGBTQIA+
