COMMA 2007 3/4 – CITRA 2007 – Cooperation to Preserve Diversity

This volume brings together most of the presentations made at the 40th International Conference of the Round Table on Archives (CITRA) held in Quebec City, 11-17 November 2007 on the theme “Cooperate to preserve diversity”.

On the basis of an ambitious experience – the merging of National Libraries and Archives of Canada and Québec – three complementary perspectives were adopted:

1. terms and conditions for the success of cooperation between archives, libraries and museums
2. necessity – which is specifically related to archives – of close cooperation with the creators of documents in the electronic era
3. association of the archives with two major international and regional digital projects currently underway.
