The EMBL Archive is the custodian of the Laboratory’s heritage.
On 13 and 14 August 2018, the American Institute of Physics hosted the Second Workshop on Scientific Archives.
The workshop explored topics related to the contemporary archives of science and technology, and specific themes discussed included the collaboration between scientists and archivists to best capture contemporary material, appraisal of science and technology archives, curating and making accessible science and technology archives to support both humanities research and scientific reuse, the description of specialist collections from a non-scientific perspective, archives and scientific data management and usage and public outreach and communication.
