oh geez that's rough about the photo albums. fingers crossed some of it is salvageable :( light/heat/humidity damage can sneak up fast so i will absolutely be discussing that.

i just finished watching a citruscon panel about digital archiving and it talked about a few different ways to back up collections and the dangers of digital rot, so there's already some fans focusing on that! but it didn't really address storing the storage (lol) and there were some people in the chat who didn't seem to really understand digital rot so there's always room for repetition there.

ipm is an acronym and i'm lazy about capitalizing orz - integrated pest management. so i'll talk a bit about bugs and stuff.

this is all brainstorming for a different online fujin convention i'm helping to plan for dreamwidth, not discord, so if you think you might be interested as a participant and/or presenter you can keep an eye on retrorot - the community is empty right now, but it'll be a smaller-scale 18+ con for media that's 20+ years old. public updates will be made there.
