- propose nominations to the Memory of the World International Register [3]
- promote the Program through publications and presentations
- encourage and seek government and private sector sponsorship for specific projects and activities
- participate in selected heritage activities and be an advocate for the documentary heritage sector.
The Australian Memory of the World Program operates within the regional framework of MOWCAP [4], the Memory of the World Committee for Asia/Pacific.
