via VNA/Vietnam Plus, 24 October 2023: The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in Vietnam is organizing a national conference in Nha Trang this November. The conference aims to bring together experts, state agencies, and local officials to discuss the protection, management, and promotion of documentary heritage. It will also explore measures for preserving the value of such heritage after its recognition by UNESCO’s Memory of the World Committee for Asia and the Pacific.
The conference is expected to help local officials gain a deeper understanding about the preservation of document heritage, remove obstacles, as well as better prepare dossiers to seek documentary heritage recognition.
Documentary heritage is an important asset of a country as it keeps track on the nation or region’s history and socioeconomic development. Besides being protected by families, communal houses, temples and pagodas, a huge amount of heritage documents are being stored at the state archive centres.
