Re: <nettime> nettime: down & up and the need for long-term archiving

[Patrice Riemens <patrice@xs4all.nl>]

Aloha All,

Makes total sense Mark - at least to me.

A _supplementary_ option for the nettime archives could be to contact 
with the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam. They 
have an ever expanding digital fond.

Also: I was interviewed a few weeks ago by the digital archivists at the 
Royal Library in the Hague (the Dutch record library) & they have an 
enthusiastic program director, Kees Teszelszky:

(sorry Dutch only: c+p >>> deepl.com! ;-)

Maybe he would be interested, after all nettime is also part a NL 
originated thing

Cheers to all!
p+2D!
