AWA - Memories

2019

Representatives from Diputació de Barcelona & Fundación felipe Gonzalez, Spain.

On 21 February, in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, over 65 people frommore than 25 organisations from 10 different nations gathered to contribute to world memory.

This was the third deposit and by the far the biggest and most diverse. On arrival, participants were treated to an introduction to Svalbard and its history by Sander Solnes from the Svalbard Museum. To celebrate AWA’s third depositing event, we held a ceremony at Mine 3, hosted by Store Norske Spits- bergen Kulkompani. Our gracious hosts welcomed us and provided tours for all our guests to the archive tomake their deposits.
