In each country, the MOM initiative is driven by a national committee, which encourages it stake holders and Government to preserve documented heritage. “These shared memories help us understand each other, and play a noble, but significant role in helping societies protect historical documents.  It is also a very methodical way of creating equitable societies through better access to information,” Ms Ngunjiri said.

The Original Register of Slaves is the documentary heritage submitted by St. Kitts that is included in the UNESCO Memory of the World Register.  MOW Register lists documentary heritage which has been recommended by the International Advisory Committee, and endorsed by the Director-General of UNESCO; as corresponding to the selection of criteria regarding world significance and outstanding universal value.

Ms Ngunjiri is convinced that St. Kitts and Nevis does not need to dig deep to have documentary heritage in scripted: “In St. Kitts and Nevis, there exists outstanding documentary heritage of great universal value.  I am optimistic that the national committee will be active again so that it can facilitate inscriptions of great universal value.”

During the opening ceremony, the Minister of Education and Chair of SVG’s National Commission for UNESCO, Hon St. Clair Prince, spoke about the importance of the digital age.  “While this is not new, as digitization is inescapable in today’s world, we must not lose sight of its importance in the scheme of things,” he said.

The adviser for Communication and Information at UNESCO Cluster Office for the Caribbean headquartered in Jamaica, Isabel Viera, talked of the importance of access to information.  She encouraged countries represented to establish Information for All Programme (IFAP) Committees to facilitate equitable participation in knowledge societies.  She called for active and effective national committees. “Greater visibility is crucial,” she noted.
