The National Archives of Georgia Delegation Discusses Prospects for Deeper Cooperation with The National Archives of the UK.

As part of a working visit, a delegation from the National Archives of the Ministry of Justice of Georgia held meetings with their British counterparts. The delegation included Sophio Jobava, Head of the Public Relations and International Organizations Department, and Zviad Melkadze, Head of the Digital Archives Service. Their British counterparts shared their expertise in digital archiving, e-governance, and document digitisation. The parties discussed the challenges facing these fields and possible ways to address them.

The representatives of the National Archives of Georgia visited The National Archives of the UK and The London Archives, viewed current exhibitions, and explored archival holdings containing documents relating to Georgia. In addition, they visited Lambeth Palace Library (the national library and archive of the Church of England), where they examined archival materials documenting relations with the Patriarchate of Georgia.

The representatives of the National Archives of Georgia discussed prospects for future cooperation with their British counterparts, including the possibility of a reciprocal visit and further exchange of expertise in digital archiving.
