Congress theme: "Libraries, Citizens, Societies: Confluence for Knowledge"

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the UNESCO Memory of the World Program, UNESCO, in collaboration with the School of Library, Archival and Information Studies and the University Library of the University of British Columbia, and in partnership with ICA, IFLA, IASA, ICOM, WIPO, Google, MIcrosoft and others, is holding an international conference on "The Memory of the World in the Digital Age: Digitization and Preservation" on September 26-28, 2012 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

This workshop will provide a basic introduction to all aspects of audiovisual collections management and preservation, in response to a felt need to equip the “forgotten people” of audiovisual archiving who are charged with caring for collections about which they have limited professional expertise. The session is intended to open the gateway to networks of contacts and sources of knowledge which the individual can pursue after the conference at their own pace.
