Armistice Day was first observed in 1919 to commemorate the end of the First World War and to remember those who had lost their lives during the conflict. Learn more about the history of the commemoration and take a moment to reflect at the Gallery 101 #RemembranceDay exhibition.

Never trust that anything that’s digitised or available online will be available forever. Digitisation is not preservation, and tech companies aren’t archivists or librarians. The presence of hard copy in a physical collection is the only guarantee of long-term survival

Comment: Some of the most forceful critics of Te Tiriti and tikanga are invincibly ignorant of these matters, writes Dame Anne Salmond. What's needed is a debate with gravitas and mana. https://t.co/fRItVC4iPb

[ICA - International Council on Archives @ICArchiv]

World Day for Audiovisual Heritage is a reminder of the invaluable role audiovisual archives play in preserving our cultural history. As technology advances, it’s crucial to remember that behind every carefully curated collection is the creativity and expertise of archivists.

Brecht Declercq, President of FIAT/IFTA, raises an important concern about the rise of AI. While AI has immense potential, we must not lose sight of the human touch in archival research and curation.

As we are approaching #WDAH2024, let's celebrate both the technology that enhances archival work and the skilled professionals who make it meaningful. 🌍🎥
