Re: [CODE4LIB] Indie Preserves
Thanks for such kind words, Tom, and thanks to everyone who gave us shout-outs on Twitter and the like. The archives/digital library community has been wholeheartedly supportive of the site thus far. We've had a tough time, however, reaching out to the community the site is intended to help out. We're going to try to rectify that by proposing a panel presentation on our project at SXSW 2016. Part of the application process puts our proposal up for a vote on the SXSW panel-picker site. If you'll forgive the further shameless self-promotion, feel free to vote for our panel here: http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/48904 Again, Norie and I would like to thank all of you for your support! --Scott C.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Indie Preserves
Scott, Norie, Kudos to you for starting this up, and sharing this on list. This seems to me exactly the kind of wacky,alternative,grassroots,important work that librarians archivists can do in the age of the Internet to help preserve and provide access to our cultural heritage. I will definitely pass along the blog to my colleagues at Stanford doing related work. Speaking of which, the Internet Archive has recenlty been doing some very impressive work on capturing, preserving and serving music. See https://archive.org/details/etree and https://blog.archive.org/2014/10/28/building-music-libraries/, e.g. If you haven’t yet reflected IA’s efforts in your blog (and I don’t see it, though that may be an oversight on my part), it might be a worthy addition. With the IA’s new focus on “Building Libraries Together”, they could be a great online host and library for materials that might otherwise be lost.
