As the United States approaches July 4th and the nation’s 250th anniversary, a fundamental democratic question is becoming harder to ignore: who is responsible for preserving the public record, and what happens when it disappears? On June 23 at 10am PT, a conversation featuring Merrilee Proffitt (Democracy’s Library at the Internet Archive), James Jacobs (Stanford University), and Christopher Marcum (Federation of American Scientists), will examine the growing urgency around digital preservation, the role of libraries and archives as democratic infrastructure, and the challenges of maintaining trustworthy, accessible public information amid political and technological change.
