What Can Digital Preservation Learn from “Tequiology”? : Short Paper - iPRES 2025 - Wellington, New Zealand / Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa

Abstract

This paper explores how the concept of 'tequiology', derived from Indigenous communal labour practices in Mexico, can inspire alternative approaches to digital preservation. Rooted in collective care, community organisation, and decolonial resistance, tequiology invites us to rethink preservation beyond Western-centric models. Through case studies of collaborative digital initiatives in Mexico, the paper demonstrates how community-driven methodologies can create inclusive, ecologically responsible, and socially embedded digital preservation practices.
