Francesco Pisano : "The UN Library&Archives Geneva has finished the digitization of 14 million pages"
In this interview, Francesco Pisano, the director of the UN Library&Archives Geneva explained why it it was important after four years of digitization work, to celebrate the end of the LONTAD project on the 5th of October at the Library.
With 14 million pages of the League of Nations archives processed and more than 230 terabytes of metadata, researchers, journalists and historians all around the world have full digital access to the archives since a few weeks.
This amount of documents, organized by files, perfectly referenced, will help to continue the task of guaranteeing multilateralism in a world facing many crises.
