Co-Publication: Urgent Inventory & Documentation of the elements of the ICH of Alexandria
Description:
This paper delves into the intersection of science, technology, and cultural heritage, particularly in the context of preserving Alexandria's rich intangible cultural heritage (ICH). Through the collaborative efforts of the Raquda Foundation for Art and Heritage and the Confederation of Egyptian European Business Associations (CEEBA), innovative inventorying and monitoring systems have been deployed to document and safeguard 51 ICH elements in Alexandria. This process not only addresses the challenges of time-consuming documentation but also ensures sustainable preservation and introduces heritage through diverse interpretation methods. By leveraging technology, this initiative underscores the importance of accessibility and the vital role it plays in safeguarding living heritage for future generations.
