CERL Annual General Meeting 2003
European cultural heritage in the digital age: creation, access and preservation
Organized by: CERL
Speaker(s): Claudia Fabian,Vladimir Zaitsev
The Annual General Meeting of the Full Membership took place in the National Library of Russia in St Petersburg, in a very special year marking the 300th anniversary of the founding of the city, and the opening of the Library’s New Building, after many years of concentrated work.
Dr Vladimir Zaitsev, General Director, and a CERL Director, welcomed members most cordially to the Library. Warm thanks are also due to Dr Natalia Verbina and her colleagues for the splendid organisation of the visit. One of the outstanding highlights was a wonderful visit to the Library’s Rare Books and Manuscripts Departments, where curators presented some of the notable items from the Library’s rich collections.
