As a result, the EMBL Archive has been involved in various activities and initiatives since its establishment in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">International Initiatives on Scientific Archives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Committee and Workshops<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The archives of science document one of humankind\u2019s greatest sagas. They comprise stories of discovery, invention, cures and exploration. As such, these archives should be captured, preserved and shared, much like our cultural and social heritage. To this end, archivists need to find ways of collaborating with scientists to best capture scientific material for future preservation without interrupting the scientific process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Better understanding how this collaboration might work was the subject of a Workshop on Scientific Archives in November 2016, organised by EMBL. Following its success, the EMBL Archivist and archivists from four other institutions founded an international committee on the Contemporary Archives of Science and Technology (CAST) within the <a href=\"https:\/\/archives.library.illinois.edu\/ica-suv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Section on University and Research Institution Archives<\/a> of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ica.org\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">International Council on Archives<\/a>.
