Revisit Archiving the Social in podcast format

On the 17th of February, the Network Archives Design and Digital Culture (NADD) hosted the event Archiving the Social at Het Nieuwe Instituut. The evening took Amsterdam’s pioneering Digitale Stad (Digital City) project, revisited in the exhibition Designing the Social, as a departure point for discussing the relevance of preserving digital culture. To document and share the conversation, we asked Katía Truijen, moderator of the evening, to put together a podcast based on an audio recording of the event.

During the event, Marleen Stikker (founder of Waag and De Digitale Stad) discussed the principles and ideals of De Digitale Stad in context of the early web. Tjarda de Haan (researcher and archivist) shared her experiences with excavating and unlocking De Digitale Stad. Kees Teszelszky (conservator Digital Collections) spoke about his work piecing the XS4ALL homepage collection of the National Library of The Netherlands together.
