2024 EASTICA Seminar


The National Archives of Japan and the East Asian Regional Branch of the International Council on Archives (EASTICA) will host the 2024 EASTICA Seminar to be held in Tokyo on November 11-13, 2024.

In this era of ever-growing momentum of change in knowledge, information, and technology, how do archival institutions envisage their role, and what ideas and initiatives will help them realize their missions while making use of the latest technologies?

Under the theme gTowards a New Era of Archives: Challenges and Possibilities,h we invite you to engage in stimulating discussions about challenges and possibilities of archives with the distinguished speakers. Keynote speakers from the United Kingdom and Australia, as well as the representatives of central archives of EASTICA countries and territories, will be sharing their insights and expertise.
