TIRANA, June 10 /ATA/ As part of the long-standing tradition, the General Directorate of Archives (GDA) in cooperation with the State Agency of Archives of Kosovo (ASHAK), with the Institute of Spiritual and Cultural Heritage of Albanians (Skopje) and with the Museum of the Alphabet of the AlbanianLanguage (Manastir) held the 7th National Archival Conference.
Experts, archivists and archive researchers of the national archival networks came together in Bitola to discuss issues, study methodology, digitization, content infrastructure improvement, innovation, as well as the vision of the archives’ work in the face of today’s reality.
The welcoming speech of the conference was delivered by the General Director of GDA, Ardit Bido, and the representative of ASHAK, Hysen Azemi.
The aim of this periodic conference is to develop the field of archival science as a special science, independently from history or other related sciences. The speeches touched on the issues related to archives, responsibility, access to data, protection of personal data, regional cooperation in the field of archives, archival cultural heritage, illegal traffic of documentary heritage, ethics and archives, archival training, as well as tourism and promotion of archives.
Manastir was the next stop for the annual edition of the National Archival Conference, which was previously held in Tirana, Pristina, Skopje, Saranda, Tuz and Boletin.
The first day of the Conference took place on June 9, right after the opening of the Archive Corner, the “sister-like” space of the Study Hall in Tirana.
