Anyone can create a community such as this!

Consider starting a community for more specialized topics that you feel people may wish to subscribe to, e.g. job listings, or caegories for specific technology or disciplines, such as web archiving.

You can message @[email protected] from another Fedverse (ActivityPub) instance e.g. Mastodon to start a discussion here if you haven't a digipres.cafe account.

Likewise folks can subscribe via a Fediverse instance, e.g. by searching for https://digipres.cafe/c/general e.g. in the mastodon search box. This works the same way for all communities and users on this link aggregator.

Hey #digipres folks, does anyone know of writing about the (cultural) history of OAIS? Like why/when/how LAMs crossed over with CCSDS? Hoping to add to my course syllabus @general

@emaemura @general can't remember if there's much in there about this but have you read https://twitter.com/RBettivia 's PhD on OAIS?

@euanc @general awesome thanks! Rhiannon's dissertation cited Cal Lee's dissertation which covers more of what I'm looking for. But a bit dense of a text for the students.

@emaemura @general I think Rhiannon would enjoy that feedback 😀

@emaemura @general - @BarbaraSierman is doing some work on the history of the field, she may have some thoughts about how OAIS came in

I would say it is more complicated then that. I try to identify the networking of the preservation pioneers. Around 1994 I see initiatives starting.

@emaemura @general
By the way, do you mean in the US or worldwide?

@BarbaraSierman @general I can’t wait to read / hear more about what you’re working on! And yes, looking for the general history internationally, not just with US focus.

Perhaps this article might help: Erin Baucom, A brief history of digital preservation
18 pages - must be manageable by students!

David is right, I' m doing research about the history of digital preservation. But perhaps the dissertation of Cal Lee Defining digital preservation work from 2005 might help.
