Preserving knowledge

Retaining lost knowledge
Recovering lost knowledge

Description

Preserving knowledge involves systematically collecting, documenting, and safeguarding information, skills, and cultural heritage to ensure their continued availability for future generations. This strategy addresses risks of loss due to obsolescence, disaster, or neglect by implementing archival practices, digitalization, and intergenerational transmission. Its practical intent is to maintain access to critical knowledge resources, support education and innovation, and prevent the irreversible disappearance of valuable insights, traditions, and scientific advancements.
