The
Joint IASA‑SEAPAVAA Conference on July 3 to 7, 2000 in Singapore adopts
the theme "A Future for the
Past: AV Archiving in the 3rd Millennium". As audiovisual archivists
enter their second century, this theme embraces the idea that archivists must
always project their thoughts in two directions, backwards and forwards, in
order to ensure that the work of the past will remain intact for future
generations. The conference theme will be explored in a number of sub-themes
which will be addressed over 10 single and parallel symposium sessions |
|
and several poster sessions. Several audiovisual archiving experts from around the world have been invited to present papers during the open sessions on the following topics:
Selection and Deselection
Formats, Obsolescence and Digital Mass Storage Systems
Research and Archives
Archiving in Tropical Countries

Developing the Profession
