An international training seminar aimed at sharing experiences in joining the UNESCO Memory of the World Programme was held in Hanoi on Jan. 8 by the State Records Management and Archives Department of Vietnam.
Participants, who are officials and staff working at archives, libraries, museums and other cultural establishments, were provided with a lot of information about the programme.
They also had a chance to hear experts from the Republic of Korea , China , Australia and Vietnam sharing their experiences on how to carry out the programme in Vietnam and how to build and present dossiers in seeking regional and international documentary heritage titles.
Presentation of Dr. Vu Thi Minh Huong, Director of the State Records Management and Archives Department of Vietnam and Chief Coordinator of the Memory of the World Programme in Vietnam, pointed to the country’s limited skills in building and presenting dossiers for heritage recognition.
Among others, the country has not yet established a council to gather scientists responsible for the work, she stressed.
Vietnam now has three documents recognised as documentary heritage under the Memory of the World Programme, which are Nguyen dynasty woodblocks, Stone Stele Records of Royal Examinations of the Le and Mac Dynasties (1442-1779), and Vinh Nghiem Pagoda woodblocks.
Vietnam ’s coordination committee for the Memory of the World Programme was recently upgraded to become the national committee for the Memory of the World Programme in Vietnam.-VNA
