The UNESCO Persist Symposium – Lost in the Cloud, held on Wednesday 3 October 2018 in Canberra, Australia was a joint initiative of the National Archives of Australia, the International Council on Archives (ICA) and UNESCO.

Convened by the National Archives, the symposium explored the nature of digital heritage, the vulnerabilities that place it at risk and the strategies needed to identify, preserve and keep accessible digital heritage that could be lost through technological obsolescence.
