About the event

The Network of Archives for Design and Digital Culture (NADD) takes Amsterdam’s pioneering De Digitale Stad (The Digital City) project, revisited in the exhibition Designing the Social, as a departure point for discussing the relevance of preserving digital culture. The evening focused on questions surrounding the social dimensions of archiving in the field. Marleen Stikker (founder of Waag and De Digitale Stad) explained the principles and ideals of De Digitale Stad, Tjarda de Haan (researcher and archivist) talked about excavating and unlocking De Digitale Stad, Kees Teszelszky (conservator Digital Collections) presented examples from the XS4ALL homepage collection of the National Library of The Netherlands, and Florian van Zandwijk took the audience on a live guided tour through online platforms, old and new. The evening was moderated by Katía Truijen.
