Dear colleagues,

We hope this message finds you all safe, healthy, and thriving.

As we ease into September, the Emulation-as-a-Service-Infrastructure
(EaaSI) team is happy to share our August  Resource Highlight ,”Emulation
Bibliography
<https://www.zotero.org/software-preservation/collections/GIYN9CCY>”

The Software Preservation Network (SPN) library of community-curated
software preservation resources was recently updated with an Emulation
Bibliography from Ethan Gates (EaaSI User Support Lead). Highlights from
the bibliography include:

   -

   Emulation Encounters

   -

*Consider contributing
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfxzRuomQc7sMSju7KtiZo36SbZ9VTvVx6VstBA6mWJkVGYhg/viewform>
your software curation, software sustainability, and software metadata
resources to the SPN Library.

EaaSI Resource Highlights are opportunities for the EaaSI team to pluck
resources from the past or recent past and recontextualize them in light of
the latest activities of the EaaSI Program of Work. Resources range from
staff blog posts that connect software curation and emulation, to current
events, to capacity building templates that provide structured activities
for digital curation practitioners, to influential resources from our
recent software preservation past, to reports from our EaaSI partner
organizations on their own emulation explorations, and more.

MORE ABOUT EAASI

The Emulation as a Service Infrastructure (EaaSI)
<https://www.softwarepreservationnetwork.org/emulation-as-a-service-infrastructure/>
program builds on previous work to apply the Emulation-as-a-Service (EaaS)
framework for access and use of preserved software and digital objects. The
program is focused on designing and scaling both the services and tooling
needed necessary for multiple institutions to configure, share, and access
software emulated environments. EaaSI directly complements efforts by
the Software
Preservation Network <https://www.softwarepreservationnetwork.org/> and
others to address key aspects of software preservation including legal
advocacy, research about local software preservation needs, institutional
capacity building for software preservation, collection development,
professional development and training, and workflow recommendations.
