The World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction held Sendai (March 14-18, 2015) brought together several members of DICAN and other fellow anthropologists of disasters during a public forum, Archiving and Memorializing Disasters. For this international and interdisciplinary workshop, Sébastien Penmellen Boret and Akihiro Shibayama invited anthropologists, historians and information scientists from the USA, Europe and Asia. Together they discuss the roles of digital archives, collective memory and memorialization in the aftermath and the prevention of disasters.
