There’s a terrific article in the Chronicle of Higher Education today
about the work of a Benedictine monk, the Rev. Columba Stewart, who is
engaged on a project to digitize early Christian manuscripts held in
monasteries around the world. There’s much to be interested in in this
article, but I particularly noticed that the last paragraphs are about a
certain philosophy of digital preservation: that “Lots of Copies Keeps
Stuff Safe,” to use the acronym of a scholarly journal preservation
program. Here’s the link:

http://chronicle.com/article/A-Monk-Saves-Threatened/49283/?key=SG57IA4%2FaCVJNntjfnJNKCUBbH16KEksZSpGbXgaZ1BR

. . . and here’s the bit about digital preservation:

Whatever happens to the communities that created these
manuscripts—or to the manuscripts themselves—Father Stewart and the
Hill Museum & Manuscript Library intend to preserve images of them
in perpetuity, or as close as it is possible to get with current
technologies. Father Stewart invokes the archivist’s mantra:
“Multiple copies, multiple media, multiple locations.” He says, “The
missing link in the preservation scenario is what I call the
clay-tablet standard”—a medium you can read with nothing fancier
than a source of light. Short of that, the museum keeps copies not
just on the hard drives from each project but on its server, on tape
backups, and in remote storage—including “a tunnel dug into a
mountain in Utah next to where the Mormons have their stuff,”
Stewart says. “That’s kind of our ‘Mad Max’ scenario, which may be a
little silly.”

Still, as he points out, “nothing’s forever. If you scatter these
things widely enough, somebody will find them.”

I like the phrase “the clay-tablet standard.” Also, I didn’t realise
that “multiple copies” was the archivist’s mantra! Useful for yoga
class, perhaps?

Bloomington, Indiana

Indiana University’s student chapter of the Society of American Archivists is proud to announce our second conference for students and beginning professionals, to be held on Saturday, March 6, 2010 at the Lilly Library in Bloomington, Indiana.

If you are a student in a library science, archives, or rare books program or have entered the profession within the previous three years, we invite you to submit your papers on topics related to archives, rare books, or special collections for presentation at the conference. In addition to paper sessions, the day-long conference will include workshops and a tour of the Lilly Library, Indiana University’s rare books and manuscripts library.

Each paper session will be just under an hour and will include two presenters. Each presenter will have approximately 20 to 25 minutes to speak, and the session will conclude with a ten to fifteen minute period for questions and answers.

To be considered as a presenter, please submit your paper (or, if your paper is not yet complete, an abstract of 150 to 200 words and a working title) to iusaaconference@gmail.com by Friday, January 1, 2010. Along with your paper or abstract, please include your name, email address, institutional affiliation, and any audio/visual needs you may have.

The papers will be discussed and voted on in a blind judging process and you will receive an acceptance or rejection by the middle of January. If you have only submitted an abstract, your acceptance will be conditional. You will be required to submit the completed paper by mid-February to have your acceptance finalized.

If your paper is accepted, you will be sent a more detailed registration form. At this time, you will also be asked to submit a registration fee of $15 to cover your breakfast and lunch. More details about meals, accommodations available in Bloomington, etc. will also be provided at this time.
