“The Challenge of Multiple Identities – Multiethnicity in Genealogy, Local History and Regional Memory – Challenges and Opportunities for Libraries and Other Memory Institutions”

We would like to invite presenters from a wide range of countries to discuss what they have learnt from projects with a multi-ethnic component.
The session welcomes papers that discuss:
- Saving and promoting historical and cultural memories;
