Today the world's cultural heritage is posed by the disastrous effects of climate change and aggravated by the lack of appropriate copyright legislation supporting the institutions that preserve our common knowledge and heritage.
The five organizations behind this effort — the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), the International Council on Archives (ICA), the International Council on Museums (ICOM), Electronic Information for Libraries (EIFL), and the Society of American Archivists (SAA)—invite all heritage organizations around the world and other organizations that share the mentioned goals to sign this Open Letter, to share it on social media and other communications channels, and to call on their national authorities to support its messages in their engagement at WIPO.
