Tracing the Digital Thread: A Scoping Project of Culture Heritage Practise in India

遗产的活力、多样性和潜在的争议性是2015年和2018年德里AHRC-ICHR研讨会的核心主题。这些在过去七年中获得资助的文化遗产项目反映了这种多样性和复杂性。追踪数字线索：印度文化遗产实践的范围界定项目将包括各种实物、非物质和数字形式的文化遗产的多样性和细微差别：如物体、思想、表演、图像、文本和景观。该项目将对创新、可持续性和知识转移策略进行深入研究，并寻求了解英国和印度遗产项目的广泛、动态的社会经济、政治和文化背景。范围界定项目将收集和综合有关工作方案、参与和成果的资料。它将收集有关项目生命周期中出现的意外挑战和机遇的信息。范围界定项目报告将使用定性、定量数据和案例研究，以提供良好实践模式，并为未来工作提出新的方向，巩固和推进过去七年开展的文化遗产工作。追踪数字线索：印度文化遗产实践范围界定项目将特别关注2014年以来资助的文化遗产项目的数字组成部分和战略。2015年AHRC-ICHR研讨会引入了关于数字技术的讨论，这也是2017年AHRC-ICHR活动讨论的一个重要方面。Praxis关于遗产应对全球挑战的报告明确指出，数字创新在印度和其他地方的文化遗产项目中占有重要地位。数字项目改变了侨民与印度遗产之间的关系，现在代表了世界各地协调和策划文化遗产项目的最重要手段。AHRC-ICHR项目组合中的所有项目都包含一些数字元素，无论是通过数字化，数字接口和人工制品的创建和使用，还是作为档案数据的遗产材料存储。数据管理是所有资助应用程序的基本组成部分，UKRI使用基于网络的平台收集和传播项目参与、影响和传播。该范围界定项目将通过对数字在文化遗产项目组合中的地位进行高级分析，识别和理解具体挑战，并创造支持未来创新工作的见解和资源，为AHRC-ICHR的文化遗产项目组合增加重要的原创价值。在当前的大流行中，我们使用数字技术作为记录、存档、操纵和共享数据的手段变得更加紧迫和积极。范围界定项目将收集与covid-19大流行造成的不同形式和阶段的破坏有关的信息，并探索已设计的新工作方式。

The vibrant, polyvocal and potentially contested nature of heritage was a core theme that emerged from both the 2015 and 2018 Delhi AHRC-ICHR workshops. This cultural heritage projects that received funding over the past seven years reflected this diversity and complexity. Tracing the Digital Thread: A Scoping Project of Culture Heritage Practise in India will encompass that variety and nuance of cultural heritage in a variety of physical, intangible and digital formats: as objects, ideas, performance, images, texts and landscapes. The project will conduct in-depth examination of innovation, sustainability and knowledge transfer strategies and seek to understand the broad, dynamic socio-economic, political and cultural contexts of heritage projects in the UK and India. The scoping project will gather and synthesize information relating to programmes of work, engagement and outcomes. It will collect information about unexpected challenges and opportunities that emerged during the projects' life spans. The scoping project report will use qualitative, quantitative data and case studies in order to offer models of good practise and suggest new directions for future work, consolidating and advancing the cultural heritage work undertaken in the past seven years. Tracing the Digital Thread: A Scoping Project of Culture Heritage Practise in India will pay particular attention to the digital component and strategies of cultural heritage projects funded since 2014. A discussion of digital technologies was introduced by the 2015 AHRC-ICHR workshop and was a significant aspect of the discussion at the 2017 AHRC-ICHR event. The Praxis report on Heritage for Global Challenges makes clear the prominence of digital innovation in cultural heritage projects in India and elsewhere. Digital projects have transformed the relationships between diaspora and Indian heritage and now represent the most significant means to orchestrate and curate cultural heritage projects across the world. All projects in the AHRC-ICHR portfolio included some digital element, whether through digitisation, the creation and use of digital interfaces and artefacts, and the storage of heritage materials as archival data. Data Management is a fundamental component of all funding applications and UKRI collects and disseminates project engagement, impact and dissemination using web-based platforms. The scoping project will add significant and original value to the AHRC-ICHR's portfolio of cultural heritage projects by offering advanced analysis of the place of the digital within that portfolio, by identifying and understanding specific challenges and creating insights and resources that will support innovative future work. Amidst the ongoing pandemic, our engagement with digital technologies as a means of recording, archiving, manipulating and sharing data has become both more urgent and enterprising. The scoping project will collect information relating to different forms and stages of disruption caused by the covid-19 pandemic and explore the new ways of working that were devised.
