Description
Introduction ONE ASPECT OF THE MEMORY OF THE WORLD PROGRAMME IS THE ATTEMPT to list lost and missing documentary heritage. The Australian Memory of the World Program is the first to start work on this task which poses many challenges. One is the paradox of attempting to identify and determine the significance of material that cannot be examined--it is, by definition, lost or missing. Other challenges relate to definitions: for instance, of significance, and of documentary heritage. This article describes progress on the Australian Memory of the World Program's listing of lost and missing documentary heritage, which has focused on working out a methodology to address the paradox.
