MTV's Removal of Thirty Years Worth of Digital Archives & The Importance of Digital Archiving

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 disappeared 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.
The removal of these digital archives from MTV has highlighted the importance for museums and cultural institutions to preserve and document the articles, stories, content, and more that have shaped and defined our culture.
