Save Archive #SaveSafe • @1MEMO_20261024 • Michel van der Burg • Miracles•Media • Save Our Safe — The greatest challenge for the future is keeping our growing digital archives accessible. It is costly and time-consuming, but essential: storage formats change rapidly, and obsolete files cannot simply be opened.

Meanwhile, large sums are being invested in AI to produce ever more digital knowledge, yet it draws only on the heritage that is already available in digital form. It is five to twelve: the analogue archives and digital knowledge are in danger of growing apart. What exists only on paper is no longer being made accessible. I see that in science, in the biomedical field where I used to work, where much of the paper library is not available digitally and is, in effect, being lost: consulting purely analogue sources cannot compete with the rapid digital knowledge-gathering for the new generation of researchers.

In this way, our history risks being abandoned through short-sightedness and replaced by an impoverished summary of whatever knowledge happens to be digitally available today. Text reworked and translated with the help of Claude.

NL — Save de Safe (bewaar en red de kluis) — De grootste uitdaging voor de toekomst is het toegankelijk houden van onze groeiende digitale archieven. Dat is kostbaar en tijdrovend, maar onmisbaar: opslagformaten veranderen snel en verouderde bestanden zijn niet zonder meer te openen.

Intussen gaat er veel geld naar AI, dat méér digitale kennis produceert, maar daarbij put uit het erfgoed dat al digitaal beschikbaar is. Het is vijf voor twaalf: de analoge archieven en de digitale kennis dreigen van elkaar te vervreemden. Wat alleen op papier is vastgelegd, wordt niet meer ontsloten. Ik zie dat in de wetenschap, op biomedisch gebied waar ik eerder werkte, waar een groot deel van de papieren bibliotheek niet digitaal beschikbaar is en daardoor in feite verloren gaat: het raadplegen van uitsluitend analoge bronnen kan niet op tegen de snelle digitale kennisvergaring voor de nieuwe onderzoeker.

Zo dreigt onze geschiedenis uit kortzichtigheid te worden opgegeven en vervangen door een verschraalde samenvatting van de kennis die nu toevallig digitaal beschikbaar is. Tekst herwerkt en vertaald met behulp van AI Claude.

Cellars Kazerne Dossin • 1MEMO_20260422 • Michel van der Burg • Miracles•Media • Today 15 years ago, April 22, 2011 — the day after my 1st interview with Simon Gronowski in Brussels, working on our documentary film Transport XX to Auschwitz (see below) — I took this picture at the permanent exhibition in the Jewish Museum of Deportation and Resistance, in the cellars of the former Dossin barracks in Mechelen, below the entrance, where during the war in 1943-44 Régine Krochmal (born in my home town The Hague in Holland, deported with Simon Gronowski, and escaped from Transport XX to Auschwitz) and others of her Austrian resistance group (Österreichische Freiheitsfront) were interrogated, tortured, and imprisoned. The “SS-Sammellager Mecheln” before — now part of the Kazerne Dossin – Memorial, Museum and Research Centre on Holocaust and Human Rights.
