SAMLA.no and the way forward for digital tradition archives in Europe

In connection with the launch of SAMLA.no, we invite you to a one-day seminar to celebrate our new digital tradition archive. Join us to explore SAMLA.no's innovative design, the research opportunities it offers, and the future of digital tradition archives in Europe.

Our goal is to create a forum for engaging discussions on international collaboration and to explore the next steps for preserving cultural heritage in the digital age. The seminar is open to all who are interested in the intersection of technology and cultural preservation.

In the first section of the seminar, members of the SAMLA team will present the search possibilities and the technical solutions used by SAMLA. In the second section, the following international scholars will present their work on digital tradition archives:

• Jonny Dillon, University College Dublin

• Sanita Reinsone, University of Latvia
