Hedstrom recognized as a "Digital Preservation Pioneer" by Library of Congress
(Feb 2008) Associate Professor Margaret Hedstrom is profiled as a Digital Preservation Pioneer on the Library of Congress's Digital Preservation Web site.
The LoC's Digital Preservation Web site regularly profiles "a new digital preservation pioneer and how that individual's or organization's work enriches the work that all libraries and other repositories are doing to collect and preserve our digital heritage."
The profile cites Hedstrom's years of experience in the field, noting that her "digital preservation expertise spans decades."
It specifically lauds her cultural heritage preservation work in developing countries with organizations such as the University of Fort Hare in South Africa.
"The most threatened content in the world is the unique content in developing countries," Hedstrom is quoted as saying. The article goes on to quote her on the implications of this threat: "In the long run this will create a skewed record of culture, where the culture from developed countries will be well preserved and the culture from the underdeveloped countries may be lost."
