Hi / Bonjour,
I built a Zotero bibliography on digital archives and digital preservation for a project I am working on. I thought it might also be useful to some people. So, I decided to open it: https://www.zotero.org/groups/1649718/digital_archives__archives_numriques/items . It is not exhaustive, but it contains more than 950 items in English and French. It covers a period from 1974 to the present. I plan to update it weekly, at the same time that I send my newsletters.

J’ai construit une bibliographie Zotero sur les archives numériques et la préservation numérique pour un projet sur lequel je travaille. J’ai pensé qu’elle pourrait aussi être utile à certaines personnes. J’ai donc décidé de l’ouvrir : https://www.zotero.org/groups/1649718/digital_archives__archives_numriques/items . Elle n’est pas exhaustive, mais elle contient plus de 950 titres en anglais et en français. Elle couvre une période allant de 1974 à aujourd’hui. Je planifie la mettre à jour hebdomadairement, en même temps que j’envoie mes bulletins de de nouvelles.
