A series of three webinars, "Cultural Heritage on the Web: How to Preserve it for the Future?", runs until April 19th and aims to disseminate Arquivo.pt's services, empowering citizens to preserve historical heritage preserved on the web.
In a joint initiative, Arquivo.pt and Wikimedia Portugal are hosting a series of three webinars on digital preservation. After the first two events took place on February 22nd and March 22nd, the next webinar is scheduled for April 19th, starting at 3:00 PM, and aims to demonstrate, through practical cases, "how anyone can archive information published on the web." Registration is available at: https://forms.gle/Q2sSKS2thWuS7AiC6
It's worth remembering that eighty percent of web pages disappear or are altered within just one year of their publication. At the same time, Wikipedia's information is largely based on information previously published on the web. Therefore, the disappearance of reference information undermines the reliability of Wikipedia articles.
On its website, Wikimedia Portugal highlights that the objective of this webinar series is to "present Arquivo.pt's services and disseminate their use" so that historical heritage published online "can be preserved and explored by any citizen." Titled "Cultural Heritage on the Web: How to Preserve for the Future?", this series of online conferences includes educational content that "enriches the training of information and communication professionals but also the digital literacy of any citizen."
The first two webinars focused, respectively, on Arquivo.pt's relationship with the preservation of digital memory (February 22) and the use of APIs in the automatic processing of preserved web information (March 22).
