✅ File format characterization and digital curation
✅ Trends and ethical concerns in digital archiving
✅ Community-driven digital memory projects
✅ Tools and platforms for sustainable digital preservation
✅ Hands-on workshops on file formatting, metadata, and digital access design
The seminar-workshop seeks to equip participants with critical knowledge and skills that will help shape the future of archives, libraries, and museums as active agents of memory, participation, and justice in a rapidly changing information landscape.
As we celebrate the UP LSAA’s 75th year of collective growth and service, ALAM 2025 also serves as a tribute to the association’s enduring commitment to advancing LIS education and practice in the Philippines and beyond.
