Dr. Saroja Wettasinghe is the Director of Sri Lanka’s National Archives. We begin our conversation by going into what she actually does, day to day, at the National Archives, and what as an institution, it stands for. When asked why the average citizen of the country should give a damn about the National Archives, Dr. Wettasinghe flags the kind of content the National Archives hold – including in particular the land records from when Sri Lanka was under colonial rule.Via http://groundviews.org/2014/01/17/archiving-a-countrys-records-in-conversation-with-dr-saroja-wettasinghe/source: www.groundviews.org
