The Sustainability Test: A Self-Assessment Tool for Evaluating Digital Sustainability is a tool for self-assessment intended to help you identify where you are in your sustainability journey. It is ideal for organizations managing digital collections that would like to know if their digital assets would be available over the long- term.

Your team can use the results to help plan your next steps, communicate needs to your leadership or other decision-makers, set annual priorities, choose a project to work on, plan a project, create a funding request and more.

El último número de Conversaciones... reproduce, con traducciones al español, la introducción del libro de Choay de 2009 Le Patrimoine en questions. Anthologie pour un combat y un capítulo de su obra de 2011 La Terre qui meurt, donde analiza los conceptos de "monumento" y "monumento histórico" y su evolución. Con ello, Choay hace un llamamiento contra la estandarización global y el uso genérico del término "patrimonio", al tiempo que subraya la importancia de la formación de arquitectos y urbanistas. A través de los escritos de Choay, seis estimados autores aplican sus diversas perspectivas geográficas para examinar los retos impuestos por un mundo globalizado y las respuestas que son necesarias para mantener el carácter de nuestras ciudades.
