Memory of contemporary architecture: records management, preservation of digital records, information for researchers

Since 2005, the site www.architecturearchives.net offers to researchers and archivists a portal towards architectural archives. To architecture professionals, it provides recommendations about the preservation of their records, namely of the digital archives. The “Architectural Records” Gau:di action broadens its investigation on digital archives: experimental studies are carried out in close collaboration with ‘test’ agencies in various European countries, and will be presented during the European conference Architecture and Digital Archives, Paris, 8-10 November 2007.
