Excited to learn a defunct web forum for your favourite band as a teenager still exists in the Wayback Machine? Relieved to hear that a teaching resource will be supported even though the original platform has disappeared? Find it useful to cite a persistent link to your dataset you know will be there for decades to come when publishing new research?
There’s a day for that! World Digital Preservation Day celebrates good work in digital preservation across the community of practice responsible for the long-term care of digital resources. While we still have a long way to go, WDPD provides a moment to appreciate all the hard work already carried out against an avalanche of technological and social change.
