In an era where websites disappear and change at a rapid pace, safeguarding our digital cultural heritage has never been more urgent. We had a great event yesterday at @kbnationalebibliotheek in the Hague and many thanks to Sebastian of

Preserving Digital Sovereignty: Marleen Stikker & Brewster Kahle at the KB

In an era where websites disappear and change at a rapid pace, safeguarding our digital cultural heritage has never been more urgent. On Wednesday 17 September 2025, the KB – National Library of the Netherlands in The Hague hosted an event featuring Marleen Stikker, internet pioneer and founder of Waag Futurelab, and Brewster Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive and Internet Archive Europe. This gathering focused on the need for robust web archiving in the Netherlands. Despite efforts by Dutch institutions like the KB, the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, and the National Archives, legal restrictions severely limit the ability to comprehensively preserve Dutch websites. As a result, vast portions of the Dutch digital memory risk being lost. The events spotlight was how digital preservation supports historical awareness, collective memory, and a functioning democracy. Marleen Stikker addressed why digital sovereignty matters in today’s political and cultural landscape, while Brewster Kahle showcased the Internet Archive’s efforts to preserve the web globally since 1996—including new ways to explore archived websites and bring collections to life.

I'm convinced that in the history books we'll credit BitTorrent for having preserved a significant chunk of humanity's cultural production

“The lost cannot be recovered; but let us save what remains: not by vaults and locks which fence them from the public eye and use, in consigning them to the waste of time, but by such a multiplication of copies, as shall place them beyond the reach of accident.”
