Protection and Participation: IAAS Archive of Sudanese Intangible Cultural Heritage
This project led by TransforMedia hopes to conduct remote digitisation to permanently preserve the collection and make it more widely accessible.
Over 6000 hours’ worth of historic material is held by the Institute of African and Asian Studies (IAAS) Archive of Sudanese Intangible Cultural Heritage. Much of the material is irreplaceable and, in some cases, it documents intangible cultural heritage that is no longer practised.
The collection has been damaged in past conflicts and the current conflict continues to threaten its security. This project led by TransforMedia hopes to conduct remote digitisation to permanently preserve the collection and make it more widely accessible.
