Congress of the German Association of Archivists on archives in the digital eraIn September 2009, the German archivists held a conference on archives in the digital era. The digitisation of our world does not only play an important role in work, daily life and leisure, but has an increasing impact on day to day archival work. The flow of digital documents confronts the archivists with important challenges, such as appreciation, selection or long-term-keeping. At the same time, information technology offers a wide range of possibilities, among others in the field of the accessibility and the opening up of archives.Read more... |

It is dedicated to the city of Brussels (to order it, click here). The series will also comprise a volume on Antwerp, the Flemish cities, the Walloon cities and “War in the Village”.
