  CONCEPT NOTE 2nd Mem

Impetus came originally from a growing awareness of the parlous state of preservation and access to documentary heritage in various parts of the world. (...) Thus, the role of the MoW Programme is to protect documentary heritage, as well as enable networks of experts to exchange information and raise resources for its the preservation. In 2015, the UNESCO General Conference adopted the Recommendation Concerning the Preservation of, and Access to, Documentary Heritage Including in Digital Form, which outlines a five-pillar framework for undertaking work on documentary heritage, namely identification, preservation, access, policy and cooperation. (...) UNESCO, through the MoW Programme, stands ready to support all Member States who wish to preserve official records related to COVID-19 within the framework of the UNESCO 2015 Recommendation concerning the preservation of, and access to, documentary heritage including in digital form.

  Concept of Digital Preservation

Digital materials cannot be said to be preserved if the means of access have been lost and access becomes impossible. The purpose of preserving digital materials is to maintain accessibility: the ability to access their essential, authentic message or purpose.  Digital preservation involves choosing and implementing an evolving range of strategies to achieve the kind of accessibility discussed above, addressing the preservation needs of the different layers of digital objects.

  Digital Heritage: Background

For cultural institutions traditionally entrusted with collecting and preserving cultural heritage, the question has become extremely pressing as to which of these materials should be kept for future generations, and how to go about selecting and preserving them. (...) Obviously the days are gone when preservation was the sole responsibility of archival institutions. (...) The guidelines for the preservation were prepared for UNESCO under contract with the National Library of Australia.

  Project title Preser

Project title Preservation of Documentary Heritage through Policy Development and Capacity Building Background This three-year project supported by Japanese Funds-in-Trust (JFIT) responds to the Memory of the World (MoW) Programme’s emphasis on helping Member States to prevent irrevocable loss of collective memory and to protect endangered documentary heritage, in support of national institutions seeking to preserve documentary heritage, specifically for disaster risk reduction and management. (...) It will also focus on good preservation practices by UNESCO Member States as well as institutions and organizations at multiple levels, from national to global. (...) Objectives 1) To identify, through the exchange of information and experiences among experts and memory institutions, the key thematic issues addressed in the preservation of documentary heritage, specifically by linking such themes to disaster risk reduction and management as a preservation strategy that can be applied at national and international levels. 2) To promote international cooperation in response to the endangerment of documentary heritage due to various factors, including natural disasters. 3) To support national efforts to put in place appropriate preservation policies and strategies. 4) To enhance the capacities of memory institutions in preserving their documentary heritage, focusing on disaster risk reduction and management strategies.
