Aoun also attended an event at the Brazilian Cinematheque last week as part of his visit to Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Arab Immigration Memory Digitization Project digitizes physical documents owned by individuals and institutions and makes them available for research on a USEK platform. Those who lend their documents also receive digital copies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his visit, Aoun met with the ABCC\u2019s Vice President of Marketing &amp; Communication, Silvia Antibas, and members of the project, a partnership between the ABCC, USEK and the Edward Said Chair of Contemporary Studies at the Federal University of S\u00e3o Paulo (Unifesp).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was impressed by the team because its members come from very different fields but are united by a single purpose: preserving heritage,\u201d Aoun said. \u201cWe also need to understand that content migration will be an ongoing process. We now use a particular format or structure to store files, but in 10 years, we will probably need to adopt another. As a result, we will have to migrate these digitized materials again to a new format or technological environment,\u201d Aoun said during a visit that ended Wednesday (14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Read more<\/em>:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/research-uncovers-findings-at-orthodox-cathedral\/\">Research uncovers findings at Orthodox Cathedral<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-418535\">Marcos Carrieri\/ANBA<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A staff member from the library of Lebanon\u2019s Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK) met with the team digitizing Arab immigrant documents at the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2316,"featured_media":418535,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46537],"tags":[48399,48478,58376,2266,2267,2473],"class_list":{"0":"post-418542","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arab-brazilian-chamber","8":"tag-arab-2","9":"tag-arab-brazilian-chamber-of-commerce-2","10":"tag-cinematheque","11":"tag-digitization","12":"tag-immigration","13":"tag-memory"},"wps_subtitle":"A staff member from the library of Lebanon\u2019s Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK) met with the team digitizing Arab immigrant documents at the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/418542","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2316"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=418542"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/418542\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":418544,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/418542\/revisions\/418544"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/418535"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=418542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=418542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=418542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
