    Event description

    Do you use archives in the course of your research? Do you manage a collection that you think deserves national or international recognition? Does your community organisation have an archive that documents the story of an under-represented community?

    Join historian and museum consultant Dr Roslyn Russell to learn about the UNESCO Memory of the World Program. This program aims to preserve and protect the world’s documentary heritage, through national, regional and international registers.

    Roslyn was a foundation member of the UNESCO Australian Memory of the World Committee in 2000 and has been its Chair since 2013. She has served on the program’s International Advisory Committee, and various sub-committees.

    Roslyn is a Board member of the International Centre for Documentary Heritage in Cheongju, Republic of Korea. She has participated since 2007 as an expert in many workshops in Asia, the Pacific and the Caribbean, to help nominators to develop effective nominations to the UNESCO Memory of the World registers.
