Why the Bodleian is archiving tweets

Here is a six and a half minute audio interview talking about why the Bodleian Library is archiving tweets from some accounts.

Of interest here as they have put the TolkienGuide Twitter account on their list, as well as Olwe (The_Tolkienist) for archiving - and possibly other Tolkien related accounts as well. If you are on the list of Tolkien Twitter accounts being archived, do let us know.

I am really happy to see a major library like the Bod being presented as what it is - an archival network also of human memories that is up to the changes in our digital lifestyles. You might like or dislike Twitter - or any other social media channel for that matter - but there is no use denying the roles they have played in everyday lives, society or politics.

Glad to see that Tolkienist twitter accounts where considered worthy of archiving early on - kudos, TCG
