$24
million funding from the latest budget will allow New Zealand to ward off
"digital amnesia", and protect New Zealand's documentary heritage for
future generations.
"New
Zealand, through this new innovation, will be an international leader in the field of preserving a nation's cultural
heritage, a challenge that archives
and libraries around the world are facing. This bold initiative of ours ensures that New Zealanders
truly get to preserve
their histories for future generations to come," says Penny Carnaby.
