originals of which have disappeared: they include Six

Genesis by Philo of Alexandria, works by Hermes
Trismegistos or Basil of Cesarea and even the

source for the history of the first three centuries of
Christianity…”

38. “
The vision of the Memory of the World Programme is that the world's
documentary heritage belongs to all, should be fully preserved and protected for
all and, with due recognition of cultural mores and practicalities, should be
permanently accessible to all without hindrance.
”
~~~
“
Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of
all knowledge.
”

39. “
The documentary heritage nominated must be finite and precisely defined; broad,
general or open-ended nominations will not be accepted…Once added to the Memory
of the World Register, the document group cannot be varied or redefined over time.
”
But….
Re-use is the culture of the internet.
What does heritage mean for culture if it must stay fixed?
