Dear Colleagues:

I am sending you the notice of a survey whose 
results will greatly help the International 
Advisory Committee of the UNESCO Memory of the 
World Programme to ensure that the purposes of 
such program are fully achieved and that the 
world documentary heritage in any form (including 
digital) can be better identified and 
protected.  Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.
