My paper is out in Big Data & Society : “Emergency curation as anticipatory maintenance: Lessons from the 2016/2017 #DataRescue movement.” https://doi.org/10.1177/20539517261421482
In this paper, I propose the concept of anticipatory maintenance to show that #DataRescue (2016/17) was not just “rescue” but maintenance work: future-oriented care to keep data accessible, acting as if loss had already begun by building redundancy and decentralized preservation arrangements.
