Cite de Memoire will provide training to archivists and managers, and draw on its three decades of expertise in assisting with this National Mission to archive, digitize, and catalogue all formats of audio, video, films, images, documents, artefacts, and others to ensure both Qatar's heritage and its current endeavors are preserved for future generations.
"We are delighted to enter this partnership with Cite de Memoire, an organization with extensive experience of working to conserve the cultural and historical fabric of societies in the Middle East," says HE Sheikh Dr. Abdulla bin Ali Al-Thani, Chairman of Media City Qatar. "This is an ambitious plan of vital national importance, which MCQ is honored to undertake. We are confident that through this association we can start to build a Centre that will promote awareness and appreciation of the history of the State of Qatar, and by blending tradition with innovation, making that story accessible, enjoyable, and inspiring to all."
