Digitally preserved knowledge focus of UNESCO conference

By Andrea Coutts on September 27, 2012

This week’s UNESCO conference in Vancouver, entitled “The Memory of the World in the Digital Age: Digitization and Preservation,” is featured in a recent Province article stressing the importance of protecting digitally preserved knowledge.

“It’s one thing for a computer crash to erase all your personal data. But imagine if humanity’s historical hard drive was wiped out.” Read more online, “Protecting digitally preserved knowledge is focus of UNESCO conference,” by Elaine O’Connor, The Province.
