Invitation from the Host Institution |
Dear
Colleagues and Friends!
The State and University Library is very pleased to invite you to
the 33rd IASA Conference which will take place in Aarhus 16-19
September 2002. This year our library celebrates its 100th
anniversary, and our hosting of the IASA Conference constitutes one
of the most important highlights among the many celebrations.
The conference venue is Aarhus Congress House. It is situated right
in the heart of Aarhus – close to hotels, the railway station,
busses, and many restaurants, bars and shopping areas of all kinds
and prices. Further information – also about travel, expected
weather in September and other practical issues – is provided in
this document.
The conference programme is set up in accordance with the guidelines
of IASA. On Sunday, 15 September, the committees and sections will
have the opportunity to meet in closed sessions. Also, the
registration desk will be open on Sunday from 9-20, and you are
kindly invited to join the welcome reception hosted by the State and
University Library at the conference site on Sunday at 18.30.
The official programme will start with an opening session on Monday
morning. We have set up a preliminary programme around this year’s
theme: Digital asset management and preservation - a many-sided and
highly relevant topic for all of us!
Don’t hesitate to contact us about any question you might have in
relation to the conference, either by fax, post or e-mail.
We are looking very much forward to welcoming all of you in
September!
Kind regards,
Eva Fønss-Jørgensen

Invitation from IASA |
Dear
IASA member,
Anniversaries are always a cause for celebration. You may remember,
when we met in 1999 in Vienna, our host, the Phonogrammarchiv
celebrated its 100th birthday and attracted a large number of you to
come and give it three cheers. This year, the Statsbiblioteket in
Aarhus is looking back on one hundred years of endeavour and
achievement and is happy to host our conference and celebrate its
centenary with IASA.
It was in 1902 that the State and University Library opened to the
public as a general research library providing access mostly to
books and newspapers. In 1987, the State Media Archive was
established as part of the library with the task of collecting and
preserving broadcasts from Danish radio and TV stations, and two
years later this remit was extended to include Danish sound
recordings. Although still relatively young in this area, they have
fully understood the value of preservation and access in the digital
domain.
Which brings us to the point of this conference and its general
theme: Digital asset management and preservation. This theme was
chosen not just because everyone is talking about digital assest
management (DAM for short). The intention is also to stimulate
debate by setting up DAM as a current buzzword in opposition to
preservation as the most important and perennial concern of our
profession. Is digitization alone really the panacea for all
archival troubles, first and foremost the management of obsolete
carriers and formats? Or do we need to think beyond questions of
carrier longevity? Is it possible that DAM makes preservation
unnecessary? These are only a few of the issues raised by DAM that
will be addressed at our conference in Aarhus.
Unlike the previous conferences in Singapore 2000 and London 2001,
Aarhus will be a IASA only conference, the main benefit of which
will be that the conference programme will focus more strongly on
matters relevant just to our association. By the way: this is an
election year, and in Aarhus the old Executive Board will make way
for a new one.
As this is the first time IASA has met in Denmark you may not have
heard about Aarhus before. It is the second largest Danish city
(after Copenhagen) and one of the oldest. It has a seaport and an
airport nearby. It is an industrial and cultural centre with several
educational institutions: a university, a college of technology, a
music academy, a theatre, a variety of museums, and, of course, the
Statsbiblioteket. This sounds very promising: there is plenty here
to engage your interest.Therefore it is my pleasure to invite you to
Aarhus for an interesting conference, and possibly also for a
stimulating pre- or post-conference stay in delightful Denmark.
Kind regards,
Albrecht Haefner
Secretary-General, IASA

Travel Information |
How to get to Aarhus?
Aarhus is the perfect place to locate a conference, being situated
right in the centre of Denmark. In addition to this, the railway
station is in the very heart of the city, there is access to
national and international flights, and, of course, regular trains
and ferry links to Sealand with connections for Copenhagen.
Airports:
Aarhus Airport -
www.aar.dk
The closest airport is Aarhus Airport (Tirstrup) situated 60 km
north east of Aarhus with airport bus service connected to all
arrivals. However, Aarhus Airport does not have many direct
international flight connections, so if you go to Denmark by
airplane, most probably you will first have to go to one of the two
airports below.
Billund Airport -
www.bll.dk
Billund Airport is situated 120 km south of Aarhus with regular
airport service to Aarhus.
Copenhagen Airport -
www.cph.dk
Copenhagen Airport (Kastrup) is one of Europe’s largest airports
with connections from destinations all over the world. If you go to
Copenhagen Airport, you can either take the train directly from the
airport to Aarhus, or you can change to domestic flight to Aarhus
Airport. The travel time between Copenhagen Airport and Aarhus is
about 3 hours by train and 30 minutes by domestic flight +1 hour by
airbus to get to the centre of Aarhus.

Tourist Information |
Aarhus is a wonderful city with many exiting places to go. There are
museums, parks, bars and restaurants of all kinds, and life and
atmosphere is very vivid, not least because Aarhus is a university
city with many students and young people. However, quiet places can
always be found, if you prefer that.
