Dear All, The Indian Institute of Astrophysics, the Indian Institute of Science and the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research are joining together to organize a ‘National Workshop on Preserving Our Scientific Heritage’ on January 21 – 22, 2008, at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore. (Refer to our earlier mail dated 13th September 2007) The objective is to create an awareness of the importance of historical scientific materials available in several organizations in the country, which need special care and use. The librarians, archivists and policy makers will come together during the workshop, to discuss plan and set up archives within their organizations. We welcome participation from librarians, archivists, scientists and students who are already working in archives and also those who have interest in this area.
