Humanitarian knowledge in danger: Addressing the digital infrastructure shortfall

Humanitarian knowledge in danger: Addressing the digital infrastructure shortfall

Speakers explore what needs to be considered now to protect at-risk knowledge systems and how new collaborations and models might form the basis of practical, ethical, and sustainable solutions. The discussion draws on emerging work within the Humanitarian Archive Emergency (HAE) initiative: an international cross-sector network to identify at-risk digital humanitarian records and develop ethical salvage solutions for future research and humanitarian operations. Through this session, participants will gain an understanding of how collaborative and interdisciplinary approaches can help preserve essential evidence during a period of sector-wide instability and diminishing resources. The panel highlights opportunities for partnership, innovation, and shared responsibility to ensure that critical humanitarian memory is not irretrievably lost.
