A panel discussion from the ICA SBA 17, on "Sharing corporate stories to the larger public" with Deirdre McParland, Electricity Supply Board Archives (Ireland); Lars Ilshammar, National Library (Sweden); and Fredric Karén, Svenska Dagbladet (Sweden).

Before the discussion, the panelists had each presented on the topic. Watch them here:

Fredric Karén, publisher at Svenska Dagbladet, on digitizing a whole newspaper's history.
Lars Ilshammar, deputy national librarian from the National Library of Sweden, on how digitizing affects both how libraries work and how they view themselves
Deirdre McParland, senior archivist at the Electricity Supply Board (ESB) of Ireland, on how a state-run utilities company uses its own history, in both consumer and corporate communication, to build brand and strengthen organization
