The right laws for preserving our past: exploring the new WIPO Toolkit on Preservation

The Toolkit on Preservation, drafted at the request of IFLA, ICA, and ICOM by the WIPO Secretariat, provides a roadmap for laws that allow libraries, archives, and museum professionals to preserve our cultural heritage in today’s world.
As climate change, human conflict, and technological obsolescence continue to threaten our collections, it is increasingly urgent for copyright laws to support - rather than hinder - the copying needed to safeguard our cultural heritage. The Toolkit helps both to evaluate your current copyright laws, and explore what options there could be in future reform to achieve this goal.
In this webinar, IFLA, ICA, and ICOM along with the authors of the Preservation Toolkit, Rina Pantalony, Kenny Crews, and David Sutton share insights on the Toolkit and take questions from the audience.
