Project InMap – Memories and Archives: Mapping the (In)tangible (2024-2025)

The InMap – Memories and Archives: Mapping the (In)tangible (2024-2025) project will map and analyze the situation of the memory archives created over the last two decades by institutions connected with heritage (e.g., museums, libraries, archives, universities, associations). Beyond a characterization of these recent memory archives (e.g. archives that document intangible heritage and oral history), it is essential to understand the scale and extension of barriers to the preservation and access to these collections. Diagnosing and identifying the needs and challenges of this panorama will contribute to the development of guidelines for public policies.

This project is developed within the Science4Policy 2023 (S4P-23) call: Concurso de Estudos de Ciência para as Políticas Públicas, an initiative by PlanAPP – Centre for Planning and Evaluation of Public Policies, financed by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP).

The project is coordinated by Ana Carvalho (CIDEHUS).
