via Phnom Penh Post, 13 July 2023: The National Authority for Preah Vihear, with support from UNESCO, plans to create an archival management system for the World Heritage site, aiming to compile all relevant documents into a secure system that can be easily accessed and used by various NAPV departments.
He also said that the archive system would significantly improve the efficiency of research, as it would give all departments access to the complete data on the World Heritage site.
This marks a change from the past, where each department managed their own archives independently.
“When other departments want to use a document, they just contact the specialised department to find that professional document,” Puthikar said.
He highlighted the difficulties in maintaining and preserving documents long term without a common archive management system, and hence, the collaboration with UNESCO.
