AbstractTaxonomic collections must be available for study to present day scientists as well as to their successors in future generations. This conflict between present day availability and preservation for posterity is discussed with reference to general collections as well as primary types. Collections of biological specimens for reference purpose and taxonomic research are essentially archival material needing to be segregated from collections used for teaching or exhibitions purposes. As with all archival material reference specimens and primary types should be deposited where their long term preservation can be safely assured.

Long Term Preservation

One of the simplest and most straightforward definitions of the Archives is that it is a place where archival material is preserved. In addition to all the other tasks that Archives should perform, preservation and protection of archival materials should always be the major commitment. In a world in which we exist, the constant change is the only permanent and inevitable phenomenon. The old Greeks used to say panta rei. There is expression in Bosnia - time creates, time destroys. Men’s fight against transience and oblivion has begun from the first moment when he understood the inevitability of death. This struggle has never stopped and is reflected in art, philosophy, science and everyday life. Archive is just one of the places where it is most evident. Although the information in digital form is theoretically impervious to the passage of time, the media on which they are kept are far away from immortality. It is not even necessary to wait for them to perish physically - they quickly become unusable due to the appearance of newer, better, but incompatible formats. Just try to access a file saved some fifteen years ago, stored on 5 or 8 inch floppy. Archives of Bosnia and Herzegovina, possessing over 400 valuable funds, has not managed to keep pace with similar institutions across Europe in the digitizing process. There is a constant problem of the lack of adequate IT equipment and professional employees. The fire that last year stormed one of the most important depots put in the foreground the strategy of keeping electronic copies in multiple locations.

Abstract The conservation of works of art makes them accessible, and will ensure the transfer of cultural heritage to future generations,. For long term preservation, the development of effective and sustainable conservation materials is of fundamental importance. Although in the past traditional approaches in restoration have used highly effective natural materials for cleaning, modern research has focused on the systematic design of materials and methodologies. For instance, during the nineteenth century conservators reported the use of materials such as vinegar, wine, lemon juice, and today saliva is still used in cleaning applications. Although it is now recognized that these materials contain components that are effective cleaning agents, until recently there has been a lack of systematic studies regarding the control of their structure and reactivity.

Archivists tied between the development of information technology, information science and new legal regulations must deliberate the future acquisition policy of the archives in different circumstances. For decades we have been talking about an explosion of unconventional material. The development and quantity of new information were faster than us. In this paper, we wanted to point to some of the new circumstances of the archival service in Croatia, or the more or less the entire archival community. Archivists in Croatia were particularly interested in the adoption of the Law on amendments to the Law on archival material and archives in May 2017 and the recent adoption of a new, comprehensive Law on archival material and archives. In the context of these changes, which will happen in the future or have already occurred, we must ensure the protection and preservation of the authenticity of the already generated electronic material and conversion into a digital format suitable for long-term preservation and after being taken over to the archives. In addition, we must educate people new competencies. Encouraged by these changes, we will try to describe the prospect of future acquisitions policy of archives.

Over the last two decades there has been a surge in activists, linguists, anthropologists, documenters digitally recording endangered language use. These unique records often are uploaded to corporate social media sites or to privately run websites. Despite popular belief, uploading these materials to a server does not mean they are archived and preserved for future generations. In this paper we discuss the differences between professional archiving systems and content management system (CMS) based approaches to making language materials accessible. Looking at the example of the Archive of Languages and Cultures of Ethnic Groups of Thailand we discuss the benefits of a Mukurtu based community website, and how linking it to a professional archive can ensure long-term preservation of precious and unique language materials.

So far, the culture of North Maluku has not been studied or put in order, so the way it is thought that it would be lost to foreign influence, which is particularly strong in the 21st century, needs governments to make an effort to preserve. formal community which is currently the base of civilization, particularly the informal one Rather, really, given the depth of research, local culture will nurture and help to grow the national culture. Therefore, it must be consistently implemented in education, and accomplish national educational objectives due to the integration of local values. However, as this era's cultural significance is erodes, this as an issue that must be researched as a challenge emerges.

This paper discusses the technical infrastructure and production workflow for the University of Lethbridge Meeting of the Minds Graduate Journal. This infrastructure was designed for an editorial board that anticipated high annual turnover: very easy to understand and train for, able to accommodate differing levels of interest and commitment from year to year, and be “publish and forget”: the long term preservation and discoverability of articles published by the journal had to be ensured regardless of future generations of students’s willingness to support the journal.

Preserving disaster remains does not always mean inheriting memories of disasters. Without long-term preservation and sustainable utilization of disaster remains, we cannot hand down the stories of disasters to the future generations. Keeping this in mind, a breakout session “Disaster Remains and Passing-on of Memories” was held in the “2020 International Forum on Telling Live Lessons from Disasters,” to grasp the trends of disaster remains inside and outside Japan. The discussions in the breakout session have put a spotlight on the important role of the “mediator” in sustainable utilization of disaster remains. With reference to the reports presented by the speakers at the breakout session, the objective of this study is to discuss the role of the “mediator” in sustainable utilization of disaster remains. The role of the “mediator” has been found to include a role of encouraging the preservation of disaster remains and a role of digging up buried memories.

A warm welcome to our "World of Difference" to all delegates attending this conference - we hope your stay is enjoyable and that you will leave Central Otago with an enhanced appreciation of the diversity of land use and the resilient and growing economic potential that this region has to offer. Without regional wellbeing the national economy will struggle to grow, something Central Government finally seems to be realising, and the Central Otago District Council Long Term Plan 2012-2022 (LTP) signals the importance of establishing a productive economy for the local community which will aid in the economic growth of the district and seeks to create a thriving economy that will be attractive to business and residents alike. Two key principles that underpin the LTP are sustainability and affordability, with the definition of sustainability being "… development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
