“Il Patrimonio ReImmaginato”, Heritage Reimagined
Digital emergence of sources, data and tools for the dissemination of the history of the archival heritage.
Archival sources, data, and their public and scientific dissemination are now at a turning point in the face of the changes that digital is imposing on the work in the archive of all the professional figures who gravitate around it, from archivists themselves, scholars, researchers, teachers, cultural heritage operators, etc.
As part of the Avalanche project, the Mu.Bat Association, Regesta.exe, the Université de Versailles Saint Quentin en Yvelines, the Université Paris-Saclay and the CDEC Foundation are organizing the Summer School Il Patrimonio ReImmaginato. Digital emergence of sources, data and tools for the dissemination of the history of archival heritage (Digital Emersion V edition). This school is part of the Avalanche project (Audio Visuals and Languages Analysis Network for Cultural Heritage in Europe – Avalanche of Democracy) funded by the CERV (Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme) call of the Horizon programme of the European Community Research Council (ERC).
The Avalanche project also has among its partners the University of Thessaloniki and the Heritage Lab of Italgas of Turin.
The aim of this Summer School is to introduce archivists, scholars, researchers, teachers, and cultural heritage operators to the basic concepts and practices of digital methodologies. In particular, through laboratory activities, the aim is to prepare the Summer School participants to understand and use digital tools both for innovative research activities and for the valorization of cultural heritage.
The school will take place in the seaside hotel of Spineta in Battipaglia (SA) from the afternoon of Tuesday 10 September to the early afternoon of Friday 13 September 2024.
The program of this summer school is intensive and aims to concentrate in three days a path of first contact with:
- the automated transcription of the texts of the sources;
- the storage and use of data;
- the dissemination of heritage contents.
The philosophy of the school is therefore to transcribe, archive and disseminate through digital. The working language is Italian.
