Protection Regulation

Everyone: if you haven't seen the following, it is worth investigating.
Note the tight deadline!!  Shelley, U of M Archives

At its April 2013 meeting in Amsterdam, the Steering Committee of the
Section of Professional Associations of the International Council on
Archives (ICA SPA) adopted a statement "express[ing] its concern about the
draft European Data Protection Regulation that will result in the
destruction of personal data and recommends that the members of ICA SPA
promote, in- and outside their associations, the signing of a petition
initiated by the French Association of Archivists
AAF<https://www.change.org/petitions/the-european-parliament-adjourn-the-ado
ption-of-the-regulation-about-personal-data>. ICA SPA emphasizes that
archives are a unique and irreplaceable heritage and play an essential role
in the development of societies by safeguarding the individual and community
memory (UNESCO Universal Declaration on Archives as adopted by UNESCO in
2011)." Sign-on deadline: May 29.
