This workshop is part of our Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) series. ICH is also known as “living heritage” and it encompasses many traditions, practices and customs. These include the stories we tell, the family events we celebrate, the songs we sing, our healing traditions, the foods we eat and cultural practices. There are many ways of documenting ICH that should be considered when safeguarding the living heritage of a group or community. Some documentation methods might include taking photographs of people, places, architecture, and cultural objects, such as tools and costumes. For audio, this means doing recorded interviews to collect stories, memories, songs, beliefs, and descriptions of how to make crafts or how to perform certain customs and traditions. You can also use video recorders to document cultural activities and performances, conduct interviews, or to show how a place looks and operates.
Existing
collections of ICH held by museums and archives are likely in many formats, but
quite often have not been digitized for proper storage or exhibition. This
workshop aims to guide museums, individuals or organizations in digitizing
their existing collections. These
skills will help museums to meet standards around safeguarding of ICH
collections, making collections accessible to the public, and ensuring the long-term
preservation of ICH material. This
is an elective course with MANL’s certificate in museum studies program.
