The archive of an institution plays a key role as the keeper of the institutional memory. That role can only be fulfilled if materials are gathered, preserved and made accessible. That IMSA’s Archives and Library staffs have institutional longevity and have known many alumni as students, has significantly aided our work.

"Preserving the present so the future will know its past.” ~ quote inspired by the collections campaign slogan of the Danish National Museum as seen in Copenhagen April, 2015
