Preserve Today Newsletter March 2025

Protecting our collective digital memory

In this edition, we celebrate the accomplishments of the Preservica community in safeguarding the world’s digital memory.

In the emerging era of AI-generated content and takedowns, the need for trusted, reliable and usable long-term digital content has never been more critical, serving as the foundation for both human and AI-driven decisions. This is why we are highlighting the remarkable Digital Preservation efforts of Amnesty International in human rights and the Legal Defense Fund in civil rights.

We look forward to discussing this and more at upcoming User Group meetings and industry events around the globe.

Preserving vital records

Safeguarding decades of invaluable human rights documentation is at the heart of Amnesty International’s mission to protect human rights. Using Preserve365 they have made Active Digital Preservation part of their Microsoft SharePoint workflows to support effortless preservation of vital records. Sensitive information remains accessible, reliable and secure for years, empowering staff and researchers with trusted, preserved data in support of their mission. Read more.

As a leading organization for racial justice, the Legal Defense Fund (LDF) is transforming how its rich history is documented and shared. In collaboration with Durable Digital and Preservica, LDF has launched the Recollection website, a digital storytelling platform that preserves the organization's legacy while engaging and educating audiences. The site ensures easy access to vital records while thoughtfully maintaining strong security measures. Learn more here.
