Multifaceted aspects of preservation of cultural heritage resources and the role of libraries

 

 

Efforts to preserve resources on cultural heritage have gained new momentum throughout the world recently. Libraries, archives, and museums hold disparate collections in a variety of media, presenting a vast body of knowledge accumulated over the institutions’ history, and the mission of these institutions is to make their collections accessible to intended users. The matter of preservation in archives representing “tangible” cultural heritage resources has long been a challenge for libraries while the matter of digital preservation of cultural heritage resources is an emerging issue which involve managing, maintaining, interoperability, and accessibility. In connection with the International Archives Day on June 9th, 2016, we will discuss the multifaceted aspects of preservation and the roles of library and information science professionals in the preservation of cultural heritage both physically and digitally.
