Dear Colleagues:
About a month ago, UNESCO, in cooperation with
InterPARES, launched a survey aimed at assessing
and increasing the awareness of the Memory of the
World Program. The response has been
overwhelming, in terms of both numbers and degree
of detail, especially as it regards suggestions for improving the program.
I am writing to express our immense gratitude to
those who have responded-your comments and
suggestions are greatly valued and will be very
carefully considered in our planning efforts-and
to invite those who have not yet responded to
contribute their own comments and
suggestions. The deadline is April 30th, so you
have plenty of time still. To respond to the
survey, please, follow the instructions in the original message, right below.
Thank you again for your contributions and your consideration,
Luciana Duranti
