AI is transforming how libraries and archives connect people with information—but none of it is possible without first digitizing and organizing collections.

As libraries embrace AI-powered search, automated research tools, multilingual access, and personalized discovery, the value of digitized collections continues to grow. Historical newspapers, photographs, manuscripts, books, maps, and records become far more accessible when digitized.

Digitization isn't just about protecting fragile materials—it's about preparing collections for the next generation of discovery, research, and AI-powered access.

📰 When the Riverfront Times suddenly closed in 2024, decades of St. Louis history were at risk of being lost. Thanks to the quick action, 138 bound volumes of the newspaper were rescued and preserved for future researchers.

This is why archives matter. Preserving today's stories ensures tomorrow's generations can discover, study, and learn from them.

👏 A great example of archival rescue in action - Read more: https://library.washu.edu/news/archiving-the-riverfront-times/

The AI/content gold rush is getting expensive—and complicated. From The AP’s quiet 2023 deal with OpenAI to a wave of agreements with major publishers like News Corp and The Atlantic, hundreds of millions are now flowing into content licensing.

But with 100+ active copyright cases—including The New York Times v. OpenAI—the real question remains unresolved: is AI training fair use, or infringement? As licensing accelerates, one thing is clear: the future of publishing, ownership, and AI is being negotiated in real time—and not everyone has a seat at the table.

The Unclear Legal Landscape Spawns a Rush of AI Licensing Deals Amid 100+ Copyright Cases The Associated Press discreetly consented to give OpenAI access to a portion of its text archive at some point in the summer of 2023. Not much fanfare.

📰 What happens when a newsroom moves… and its archives don’t? Too often, decades of local journalism are lost, forgotten in storage, erased in transitions, or simply gone. As one editor put it, archives without a plan are “somewhere else to die.”

But there’s another path - prioritize archive preservation. Save and digitize the archives and make them accessible to the community. At a time when both physical and digital news archives are at risk, protecting the first draft of history has never been more urgent.

When we preserve local news, we preserve community memory.

📰 If we can’t preserve past online reporting, how do we hold the present accountable?
