Topic 2: Supporting Each Other – practical steps

Chair: Lim Soh Kwang

No archive is an island, and if the global task of preserving the world’s audiovisual memory is to succeed, inequalities have to be addressed. We will have to bear one another’s burdens, sharing skills and resources. How can it be done? Are there practical guides? Is there hands-on help? What are the possibilities for training, ‘volunteers abroad’, joint projects and other initiatives?
