About this book

This edited volume documents the current reflections on the 'Right to be Forgotten' and the interplay between the value of memory and citizen rights about memory. It provides a comprehensive analysis of problems associated with persistence of memory, the definition of identities (legal and social) and the issues arising for data management.

Reviews

“Only very rarely does a book come along that has an immediate and enduring impact that changes my understanding of my professional domain. … For me this book has already joined this group. … This book is not aimed exclusively at archivists … but I think that, almost perversely, this is the very reason archivists should read it! … I will close with a simple re-statement of my thoughts at the beginning: read this book as soon as you can.” (Archives and Records, August, 2016)
