It was an honor to work with such a great crew to put together European Public Domain Day. Looking forward to more awesomeness in the future from these folks. #EPDD26 #publicdomain

Awesome photos of Bob Stein’s tapestry talk by @Terburg 🙌 #EPDD26

Bob Stein presents the Tapestry project at European Public Domain Day in Brussels at the National Library and later today will give a workshop about how to use this technology which brings collections to life. #EPDD26 #publicdomain #tapestry

@BjornW Well that's not great.

It is now 4:15 am in their time zone and it's Christmas Eve. I am sure they will get it back online ASAP.

Many thanks to @internetsociety for hosting a great workshop where @blmurch shared lessons from @internetarchiveeurope She jumped into an impromptu discussion about connecting wider research communities to historical Internet data as part of the Internet Data Trust work. If you’re working with web archives or historical datasets, I’d love to hear your experiences and ideas — please share below. #InternetArchive #WebArchives #InternetData #Research #DataTrust #DigitalPreservation

Many thanks to our incredible team of volunteers, including Greg Csiffary (videosbygreg.com) for helping pull together this event on November 6 for World Digital Preservation Day at our headquarters in AMS with the team from "Internet Phone Book". Looking forward to more such events in 2026.

Have you checked out this awesome children's book about the importance of Free Software? Check out what Brewster thought about "Ada & Zangemann" by @kirschner The book is available in many different languages and more are being added all the time. ada.fsfe.org

So thankful to Elliot and Kristoffer of the “Internet Phone Book” for their willingness to share their work at the intersection of the Internet and “Real Life” when many times they are one in the same. Websites reveal the sensibilities and voices of the humans that made them. We are grateful for the presenters and the audience for a great first public event at the Internet Archive Europe Headquarters in AMS. Follow us on Luma to stay tuned for events in 2026. https://luma.com/InternetArchiveEurope

@ifrit @albertcardona @johncarlosbaez @blmurch - hello! 👋

@egonw @internetarchive @maria Thank you!

@Kalytis @internetarchive Internet Archive Europe isn't the same as Internet Archive in the US. We are a mission-aligned organization. One of our goals is to use AI tools to bring collections to life - enhance metadata, instant translations on the fly, allow for interactive uses of the vast cultural heritage that is locked up. If we limit ourselves to thinking of AI as only generative chatbots, we miss a lot of amazing applications. It's so much more.

Making things interesting and accessible is the goal.

The rest of that idea is "the library is leveraging AI and other tools to bring collections to life and demonstrate new interactions. If you would like to join us on these adventures, please contact us."
