Building the Commons: Community Archiving & Decentralized Storage

This event shines a spotlight on the intersection of decentralized storage solutions and community archive projects. For years, digital archiving has been essential for preserving historical documents and community memories. However, traditional storage methods increasingly face issues around costs, data ownership, privacy concerns, and accessibility limitations. This is where decentralized storage offers a fresh approach to safeguarding vast public datasets.

Designed for enthusiasts and professionals in community archiving, research, and library sciences, this event will be a mix of talks and demos by leading Makers of public good technologies.

Hosted by TechSoup on April 25, 2024.
