Today is World Digital Preservation Day, and we have our Senior Images Coordinator @MuseumLAR taking over our Twitter feed until 5pm to talk all things #digitalpreservation in the Museum! 👋👀

A big responsibility and a big day of tweets on how your Museum does #DigitalPreservation🦉💿

Here's a great thread from @MVBirds The #DigitalPreservation of more than 5000 sounds of nature deepens knowledge via a uniquely transformational medium for identifying biodiversity in place “Communities Listening for Nature Collection” #WDPD2020 #DigitsForGood

@MVBirds has captured thousands of hours of calls including calls from species such as, White-throated Treecreeper, Yellow-faced Honeyeater, a Flame Robin, a Gang-gang Cockatoo, and more. #DigitsForGood #WDPD2020

The film “Why should we listen to nature?” shows how dedicated community groups improve outcomes for wildlife through the #DigitalPreservation of Victoria’s unique natural soundscapes
#WDPD2020

Knowing where threatened species make their home is the first step in conserving their habitats. Wildlife soundscape recordings can be used to digitally preserve their presence in space & time, leading to better conservation outcomes for species like the Powerful Owl. #WDPD2020

Visualising sound expands the possibilities of studying bird song complexity. This spectrogram of a Superb Lyrebird’s song shows how #DigitalPreservation of sounds improves knowledge of vocal mimicry and how it shapes remarkable behaviours. @MVBirds #WDPD2020
