I've been tending to my own archives lately and I echo this sentiment from this Library of Congress publication (79 page PDF): "One of the still unfolding impacts of the computer age is that everyone now must be their own digital archivist. Without some focused attention, any personal collection is at high risk of loss – and quick loss at that." Here are some resources to underline this important effort:
- Library of Congress Personal Archiving website
- Kit to hold your own PDA day event
- Columbia University Digital Humanities Center – PDA online resources
- Guide from Cornell University is based on the workshop Personal Digital Archiving
- Paradigm Project - guidelines for the creators of personal digital archives
- The Digital Beyond is a blog about your digital existence and what happens to it after your death -
- PDA Conference archives
