Arctic World Archive - Deposit Summary

2019

Representatives from Diputació de Barcelona & Fundación felipe Gonzalez.

On 21 February, in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, over 65 people frommore than 25 organisations from 10 different nations gathered to contribute to world memory.

This was the third deposit of data into the Arctic World Ar- chive and by the far the biggest and most diverse. On arrival, we were treated to an introduction to Svalbard and its history by Sander Solnes from the SvalbardMuseum as we met all our contributing organisations. Such a large group in a small city saw great opportunity for networking and getting to know each other. To celebrate our third deposit, we held a ceremony at Mine 3, hosted by Store Norske Spitsbergen Kulkompani. Our

gracious hosts welcomed us and provided tours for all our guests to the archive to make their deposits. Feedback from the event has been fantastic and we are so pleased that our clients found the experience valuable as they contributed to world memory. We are already looking forward to our next deposit and wel- coming more valuable information into the Arctic World Archive.
