David is right, I' m doing research about the history of digital preservation. But perhaps the dissertation of Cal Lee Defining digital preservation work from 2005 might help.

@emaemura @general can't remember if there's much in there about this but have you read https://twitter.com/RBettivia 's PhD on OAIS?

@euanc @general awesome thanks! Rhiannon's dissertation cited Cal Lee's dissertation which covers more of what I'm looking for. But a bit dense of a text for the students.

@emaemura @general I think Rhiannon would enjoy that feedback 😀

@emaemura @general - @BarbaraSierman is doing some work on the history of the field, she may have some thoughts about how OAIS came in

I would say it is more complicated then that. I try to identify the networking of the preservation pioneers. Around 1994 I see initiatives starting.

By the way, do you mean in the US or worldwide?

@BarbaraSierman @general I can’t wait to read / hear more about what you’re working on! And yes, looking for the general history internationally, not just with US focus.

Perhaps this article might help: Erin Baucom, A brief history of digital preservation
18 pages - must be manageable by students!
