More than 200 librarians are joining their colleagues from India, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Singapore at a training course on preserving traditional and digital documents in Hanoi.

The March 24-25 training course is part of an initiative proposed at the 70th World Library and Information (WLIC) in Singapore last year. It aims to raise preservation capacity for Southeast Asian libraries of the Special Libraries Association (SLA) and National Libraries of Vietnam, Laos and the Philippines.

Dr Rienhard Feldmann, Director in charge of ancient collections at Munster University’s Library and a library in North Rhine Westphalia in Muster City, Germany, introduced techniques to preserve, protect, retrieve, monitor, digitise and store data.

Vietnam National Library experts demonstrated skills to protect traditional documents, and shared their experience in protecting traditional and digital data with foreign colleagues.

Similar training courses will be held at the Lao National Library on March 27-28 and at the Aquinas University of Legazpi in the Philippines on April 10-12.
