12. Funding Abdelaziz Abid said that he had little to report - there were few funds available. The main point of placing this on the Agenda was to stress to the IAC the need for them to assist with the task of generating extra-budgetary income for the Programme. More partners in specific projects would be welcomed. The generosity of Norway in funding the Slave Trade Archives Project was an example that, hopefully, will be followed by other countries. Ingunn Kvisterøy of the Norwegian National Commission for UNESCO gave a short report on the Slave Trade Archives Project. It was being funded by the Norwegian Development Agency (NORAD) and would provide assistance with the preservation of historical documents and oral tradition on the trans-Atlantic slave trade. It aims at providing training, equipment and technical assistance to National Archives and other institutions holding documents in Angola, Benin, Ghana, Mozambique and Senegal. It was recognized that the Project covered only the African part of the trade. The rules of NORAD currently prevent it from funding work in the Americas. Abdelaziz Abid asked if other funding partners could work in co-operation with NORAD to expand the Project to include the American element of the trade. The Norwegian National Commission for UNESCO has been talking with a commercial fund-raising company, Sponsor Service, about the possibilities of attracting sponsors to the Memory of the World Programme. UNESCO does not have the resources or specialist staff to undertake such specialized work. Sponsor Service has some experience of working on cultural projects but would probably require as a fee 10% of the income raised. Philippe Quéau suggested to take advantage of the year 2000 to arrange specific activities to promote the Programme, for instance by highlighting year 1000 documentary heritage. 13. Ethical Code Jean-Pierre Wallot drew the IAC's attention to the Code of Ethics recently published by the ICA. George Boston reported that IASA had also recently issued a similar document. Joachim-Felix Leonhard said that UNESCO had recently held a conference entitled InfoEthics to explore this whole area. He was concerned, however, at the narrow range of participants. Abdelaziz Abid said that representatives of FID, IASA, FIAF, FIAT and other interested NGOs would be welcome to attend any future conference on the subject.

"MEMORY OF THE WORLD" Regional Consultation on the Conservation, Preservation and Promotion of the Documentary Heritage of Central Asia Tashkent, 25-26 September 1997 RECOMMENDATIONS The participants in the Regional Consultation on the Conservation, Preservation and Promotion of the Documentary Heritage of Central Asia, express their gratitude to the Government of Uzbekistan, UNESCO and the National Commission of the Republic of Uzbekistan for UNESCO for their support in holding this meeting and: RECOMMEND that the cultural heritage of all Central Asian countries be regarded as a common integral legacy which has contributed to the development of the world civilization; that a National Committee be established for the "Memory of the World" programme in each country of Central Asia; that the creation of a regional programme "Memory of Central Asia" be explored to promote co-operation with existing institutions with similar concerns (such as the International Institute for Central Asian Studies in Samarkand) and discuss the possibility of a regional Internet "Heritage Net" programme ; that educational programmes be set up for the training of specialists in the field of conservation and restoration and of specialists capable of reading old manuscripts; that all forms of documentary heritage be collected, preserve and promoted in all languages of the region, including oral traditions; that the exchange of databases on documentary heritage be promoted both within the region and abroad. ANNEX D Opening remarks by the representative of the Director-General Mr Chairman, Your Excellencies, Ladies and gentlemen, It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all on behalf of the Director-General of UNESCO to the Third meeting of the International Advisory Committee of the "Memory of the World" Programme. I wish to express my satisfaction at the presence of members appointed by the Director-General in their personal capacity and observers invited to this meeting. My gratitude goes to all participants who accepted our invitation in spite of their pressing agenda and heavy workload. I am glad to see that a number of foundations and international professional organizations, sharing our aim to preserve the world endangered documentary heritage and to facilitate access to this collective memory, are represented on this occasion. We are privileged to have, in this room, represented in such a small group, all sorts of expertise, knowledge and wisdom needed for the guidance of the Programme. It is this will to protect the memory of the world which has brought us here and I am particularly anxious to thank the Uzbek authorities for their generous invitation which shows the importance they attach to this undertaking and is yet another sign of their interest in UNESCO’s action. I am particularly anxious to extend our gratitude to the Uzbek National Commission for UNESCO, its President and its Secretary-General who took the initiative of inviting UNESCO to organize this meeting in Tashkent, in this delightful setting. There is no need for me to stress the importance of collective memory in the understanding of our civilizations, particularly in this part of the world. May I just recall the rich and unique legacy that the Timurid period has bequeathed to us and which testifies so eloquently here, as elsewhere, to the creative diversity of cultures born out of the fruitful encounter and dialogue between peoples. The Court of the Timurids symbolizes the golden age of manuscripts and miniatures and the poetry of Alisher Navoi continues to enchant us today. Through "Memory of the World", UNESCO hopes to better fulfill its constitutional mandate of "assuring the conservation and protection of the world's inheritance of books, works of art and monuments of history and science". The Programme offers a unique opportunity to the international community to make a concerted effort to protect priceless records of all kinds, whether written, audio-visual or electronic and, at the same time, to facilitate access to this common heritage to ensure its wider dissemination. The "Memory of the World" Programme had its origin in the growing realization that much of our documentary heritage is in an alarming state of preservation and that, in addition, access to it in many parts of the world is extremely difficult. It was primarily in order to prevent the irrevocable loss of large swathes of our collective memory that UNESCO set up the Programme. It should not, however, be forgotten that access to the documentary heritage, its wide dissemination and increasing public awareness of its significance and the need to preserve it are also considered to be important objectives. During UNESCO's General Conference in 1991, the Member States, and especially the new ones, expressed their anxiety about their documentary heritage because, as they rightly stated, nations which do not care about the past do not have a future. So it was that the Director-General decided in 1992 to launch the "Memory of the World" Programme and to initiate preparatory activities. An international committee, appointed by the Director-General, held its first meeting in September 1993 in Pultusk, Poland, and defined the Programme as a new approach to preserving the recorded memory of humanity, to facilitating access to this documentary heritage and to assuring its widest possible dissemination. Special emphasis was put on the contribution which the use of the most appropriate new technologies might make to the programme. The meeting also recommended that UNESCO assume the role of co-ordinator and catalyst for the programme and draw it to the attention of governments, international organizations and public and private foundations. In April 1994 all Member States were invited to set up a "Memory of the World" National Committee, to identify and select projects, to follow them up and to raise all or part of the necessary funds for their implementation. The membership of a National Committee may include, among others, librarians, archivists as well as users and those responsible for the related library collections and archive holdings. The initial result was disappointing. To date, only about 30 Member States have replied to this letter. In a further move to provide the programme with the impetus and momentum which it clearly deserves, the International Committee, at its second meeting in Paris in May 1995, recommended the creation of a "Memory of the World" Register. This list was to include documents, manuscripts, oral traditions, audio-visual materials, library and archive holdings that are of universal value and is thus similar in some way to UNESCO's World Heritage List. In February 1996 a nomination form for the inscription of documentary heritage was sent to all National Commissions, together with selection criteria governing documentary heritage to be considered for entry on the "Memory of the World" Register. One of your main tasks in this meeting is to make recommendations to the Director-General as to the registration of the nominated documentary heritage. On several occasions, the need to clarify further the criteria for selection of such works was stressed. The "Memory of the World" Conference held in Oslo in June 1996 rightly urged all countries to establish "Memory of the World" National Committees and to become active participants in this programme and all concerned professionals to cooperate in establishing priorities and in developing projects for "Memory of the World" initiatives and in exploring innovative approaches for funding. At its 149th session held in May 1996, the Executive Board adopted the Statutes of the International Advisory Committee of the "Memory of the World" Programme to guide the planning and the implementation of the programme as a whole. Technical guidelines to safeguard documentary heritage have been prepared for UNESCO by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), in close co-operation with the International Council on archives (ICA) and other NGOs. These Guidelines are being widely distributed in the six working languages of UNESCO. A world survey on archives and library collections damaged beyond repair this century has been carried out for UNESCO by ICA and IFLA. Although the title "Lost Memory - Libraries and Archives destroyed in the Twentieth Century" sounds somewhat despondent, the positive intent is to sound the alarm about the disappearance of archival and library treasures of inestimable value. Despite the efforts of librarians and archivists and all those concerned, it is the sad truth that, as the end of the 20th century approaches, much of the documentary heritage housed in the world's libraries and archives remains at risk. Preserving the world documentary heritage is not only a means of safeguarding the cultural heritage and identity of the peoples of the world, but it is also keeping the peoples' memory, the impulses that shape us all as social beings, that simply keep us staying human. The main purpose of this Committee is to review progress achieved by the "Memory of the World" Programme and make recommendations to the Director-General on placing nominated documentary heritage on the "Memory of the World" Register, granting "Memory of the World" label to selected projects and raising funds for the Programme. It is of the utmost importance that the Programme create awareness throughout the world of the value of the documentary heritage held by each nation, of how to provide wide access to its treasures. Co-operation is to be considered at three levels: at the national and regional level, where partners need to be brought together to work for the identification and selection of projects, their follow-up and the raising of funds for their implementation; and at the international level, UNESCO through your Committee will play a co-ordinating and catalytic role, as well as a promotional and fund-seeking one. We are determined to continue to encourage and pool efforts at all levels to protect unique and endangered books, manuscripts, archival documents, audio-visual materials and oral traditions through the use of state-of-the art technologies conducive to wider accessibility and dissemination. We count on you to continue to guide the planning and implementation of the "Memory of the World" Programme as a whole, with special attention to the selection of suitable technologies and the worldwide marketing of the products, and to help raising funds for the Programme. I wish you a pleasant and fruitful meeting.
