Have you seen the recent, unsettling news that MTV News has removed thirty years of their digital archives? These documented moments are pieces of our cultural history that have now dissapeared from public access in an instant. Our team at the museum was shocked upon learning this news, as preserving pop culture is an integral pillar of our mission at The Museum of Pop Culture.   Concerning this removal of archives, MoPOP’s CEO, Michele Smith, said in an article published by CONSEQUENCE, “I find this development not only concerning but also reflective of a larger issue facing our society today — the need for accessible, preserved archives that uphold the integrity of our cultural history.”   Check out the full article for more on the impact of this loss and why digital archiving matters: https://lnkd.in/gAj_q9UH   #MoPOP #PopCulture #PopCultureNews #DigitalArchiving #WatchThisSpace
