- Abstract
The article discusses a symposium held by the Royal Meteorological Society's History Special Interest Group to discuss data rescue and preservation activities in the United Kingdom. The symposium highlighted the importance of preserving historic climate data and metadata for current and future researchers. Various projects were discussed, including the digitization of pressure and rainfall observations, as well as the recovery of historic meteorological observations from ships. The article emphasizes the value of metadata and the need to contextualize contemporary climate conditions within a long-term historical perspective.
