Introduction
Welcome to the special exhibition
commemorating the opening of ICDH.
The exhibition <Into the Light: Memory of the World> provides a special opportunity to explore the lessons of the past, and find inspiration and enlightenment for the future.
Records from the past are said to be important and meaningful, but not many people know why that is. The Memory of the World collection is vast, and requires much background knowledge, making it hard to understand. As the Memory of the World may feel somewhat unfamiliar, we have likened these records to 'light' and humanity's journey out of darkness. We bring this all to life through the medium of film and video that serve to guide us on this journey.
An essential element of the exhibition is 'light.' This light is an element that suggests the direction to move forward for those of us who are wandering in the dark. It also represents the Memory of the World for us in terms of the past, the present and the possibility of building a better future.
Your journey through the Memory of the World exhibition will involve following the light that guides you through dark passages and five spaces or "Zones." In each Zone we have created opportunities for you to feel the great moments contained in the Memory of the World, discover the connection with the times we are currently living in, and through this, understand the meaning of Memory of the World represented by light. As you begin your journey of enlightenment by following the light, think about how the Memory of the World has illuminated the world and left records for a brighter tomorrow. With the International Center for Documentary Heritage under the auspices of UNESCO, let's begin your journey, following the light in the darkness, to discover the value of Memory of the World that we must share and preserve.
