UBC

This week I vistited the UBC (University of British Columbia) and the SLAIS (School of Library, Archives and Information Science). I spent two days with them. The SLAIS has been in charge of the INTERPARES research I, II, & III. The III is still running and involves many countries. Luciana Duranti has done a terrific work to keep the whole research together.

I was visiting for one specific purpose, and that was to learn more on the research program they now run that deals with Digital forensics in cooperation with the Vancouver Police Department. I went with two students to the Vancouver PD on tuesday, and as a sworn officer it was very nice.

UBC is the only school in North America that offers a master program in archival and information science. The other universities only offers master program in cooperation with library and information science.

I ended that fantastic day by following my relative "Eric Borglund", former police officer at VPD to see the Vancouver Canucks vs NY Rangers.
