Social, Cultural, Political and Economic Value of Cultural Heritage

Cultural heritage has to be approached in a broad art historical context of networking and

intermediality. Meaning and value of works of art can only be studied when these are considered as

a part of a complex network of influences, in which 1) creators from different disciplines interact

and share artistic ideas, and 2) the artefacts function in global contexts (physical, social, cultural,

etc.)..

- It is of vital importance to reconstruct not only the artistic and intellectual background of works

of art, but also their spatial setting and environment. In this integral approach, historians, art

historians, conservators-restorers from different disciplines need to share their knowledge to

reconstruct ensembles as Gesamtkunstwerke, in the overall context of the site.

- The reconstruction of the intercultural context of artistic production is needed in order to better

understand the meaning, form and function of works of art and to clarify our heritage in the

current culturally globalised context. This approach is not necessarily limited to cities or regions,

but needs to be considered in a larger European and international context, owing to the

worldwide prestige and renown of craftsmen and artists from the Low Countries.

Plateaustraat 22, 9000 Gent, Belgium Place: Gent Country: Belgium Email: [email protected] Phone: 0032 497 34 34 89 Topic The give a short description of the content of the topic you want to cooperate on Together with some MA students I am setting up a research on the role of cultural heritage in the reconstruction of (national) identity in post-conflict situations. We focus on Africa and the Balkan, but studies on other geographical area are also welcome. The idea is that nations cannot simply be understood as ideology or form of politics but should be

considered as cultural phenomena as well. In consequence national identity must be regarded as a

collective multidimensional cultural phenomenon including language, sentiments and symbolism.

These phenomena are rooted in common familial, territorial, class, religious, ethnic or gender

backgrounds which may be modified or abolished. Nations have thus to be understood as dynamic

and complex processes.

Cultural heritage is more and more seen as an instrument for peace and reconciliation, its protection,

conservation and restoration can play a key-role in rebuilding societies and overcoming the sense of

displacement caused by conflict. However, this is to be done with care and sufficient preparation.

Firstly, cultural heritage has a heavy symbolical load. If it certainly can help to reconstruct a national

identity after conflict, it can also keep the memory of the conflict alive and even cause tensions about

religious and economic (returning pieces or rebuilding) issues. Secondly, the safety of the heritage

(esp. museum collections) has to be guaranteed when returned to its original context. Environmental

criteria, conservation, but also vandalism and robbery have to be taken care off. Thirdly, the

international conventions on heritage protection in conflict need to be evaluated within the context of

cultural heritage and the re-construction of identities after conflict.

Aims 1. To evaluate the importance of cultural heritage in the building of national identity in post-conflict

areas. Analysis of changes of attitude, symbolism etc.

2. Evaluation of the role of the national versus international community in preservation, conservation,

restoration of cultural heritage

3. Evaluation of "sustainability" of the heritage in post-conflict areas - esp. in regions with regular

tensions and instability (political, social, economic)

4. Evaluation of the International Conventions regarding Heritage and Cultural preservations in times

and areas of conflict, esp. with regard to civil wars, terrorism, and twenty-first century artillery.

The aim of the envisioned collaboration between digital humanities research centers (at the universities of Ghent, Antwerp and Leuven) is to enhance the scientific potential of digitized data in collaboration with libraries, musea and the heritage sector. Several members of the Department of Literary Studies at Ghent University are active members of the GCDH and would be particularly keen to collaborate on projects involving digital editions of literary texts, efforts to preserve poetic legacies (born digital or to be digitized) and literary databases (like the ongoing project “Database of Byzantine Book Epigrams DBBE”). Digitized corpora are not only crucial as a way to preserve our literary heritage, they are opening up a wide range of new research questions to literary scholars (in computational narratology and stylistics/stylometry, cf. e.g. the ongoing Corpus-Based Authorship Studies (C-BAS) at Ghent, or see http://vimeo.com/70881172 for a fascinating presentation of new research outcomes.) Besides our research on digitized literary heritage, many of our researchers are also active in the field of cultural memory theory, which looks into the ways (modern) societies build their cultural memories (e.g. after periods of conflict or political transition) by reflecting on the strategies of remembering and memorialisation at work both in literary texts and in societies at large.

Result Please give a short description of what you want to achieve There has been an exploratory meeting in Paris, earlier this year, with representatives from universities, research institutions and academic libraries from all over Europe. The immediate objectives are: - to create stable links between the various databases on Greek Manuscripts; - to create a directory of universal numerical identifiers of all known manuscripts, that will be integrated into the various databases and used to establish dynamic links between them. A second step, much more time (= money) – consuming would be: - the establishment of a list of identifiers for authors, texts, and people related to the history of manuscripts.

Impact Please give an impression which impact you expect from this cooperation A better coordination of the several ongoing and envisaged digitization initiatives would eventually lead to an easier access to the material – and drastically reduce the need of handling the fragile manuscripts themselves each time a scholar needs it. Moreover, this

would also lead to the establishment of a standard for the exchange of knowledge about manuscripts.

National Archives in most countries have an interest in preserving information about geography. While the preservation of paper maps is well understood and put into practice, knowledge on the historical production process and especially pre-digital production process in the 20th century as practiced by many National Mapping Agencies (NMA) is disappearing and has hardly been documented yet. The last witnesses of this era, people and objects, will be gone in just a few years. NMA‘s have a mutual history in land surveying and mapmaking.

1) NMA’s very often have a joined military context in which mapmaking was subject to restricted distribution.

2) NMA’s organized systematically education for the staff. 3) Archiving was not the core business of NMA’s, which implies that a lot of the

patrimony may have disappeared. 4) Contemporary staff knows only the digital production process; information on the

pre-digital production process is now disappearing very rapidly. 5) Mapping methods and production processes greatly differed from country to

country. This applies to the preservation strategies too. A holistic research approach within a European context makes the priorities clear and enables complementation and assembly of the available local information.

Project template for partner search Author, name and contact details Name: Wim Lowet & Sofie De Caigny Function: Archivist / project leader & coördinator Organization: Centrum Vlaamse Architectuurarchieven Acronym: CVAa Address: Jan van Rijswijcklaan 155 Place: B-2018 Antwerpen Country: Belgium Email: [email protected] Phone: +32 32 42 89 77 Topic Architectural archives are important cultural heritage from which we can learn how the European environment has developed. They are produced by many actors, among whom many are not aware they are dealing with future cultural heritage. This makes the archives vulnerable. Especially digital born architectural archives are in a difficult position since they require specialized knowledge to keep them ‘alive’ and ‘readable’ for future generations – knowledge that is often still to be developed. The CVAa (Centre for Flemish Architectural Archives) is aware of the precarious situation of the digital born archives, and started several research activities to cope with these problems: 1. The development of a digital repository for the preservation of architectural heritage. Read the results online at http://www.cvaa.be/nl/publicatie/een-fedora-depot-voor-

architectuurarchieven. 2. An inquiry to determine the methods and motives of architects for creating and preserving their digital (and analog) documents. Read the results online at http://www.cvaa.be/nl/publicatie/het-geheugen-van-de-architect-creatie-en-bewaring-van-digitale-objecten-in-vlaamse 3.

Read the results online at http://www.cvaa.be/sites/default/files/publicaties/cadarchivering_rapport_2013_v0_7.pdf The CVAa wants to cooperate on dealing with questions of acquisition & selection, sustainability, preservation and dissemination of digital architectural heritage. Therefore,

building upon the experiences of the past activities concerning digital archives, the CVAa wants to conduct a case study in a selection of Flemish architectural offices. The CVAa will focus on the problems of acquisition, appraisal and selection.

Result The key objective of this CVAa-project is to define the steps needed for the preparation of a digital architectural archive for ingest in a digital repository. The starting point, is a revolutionary position towards archiving procedures: The CVAa wants to establish a proactive method of acquisition that can be applied for digital architectural archives. Preservation activities, like selection decisions and the according of metadata, need to begin at the creation phase in the life cycle of a digital creation. Therefore, the CVAa aims to:

a. determine criteria for archival selection b. establish guidelines for selection of dossiers and selection within dossiers,

based on the results of a) c. determine the essential properties of CAD-files, based on the results of a) d. set up best practices and guidelines for proactive selection decisions by the

architectural office, based on the results of a)- c) e. determine best practices for documentation:

i. develop a template for hard- and software documentation ii. develop best practices for constructing CAD-files in order to

optimalize their preservation, based on the results of c) iii. investigate the possibility of storage and documentation in a

database environment while the archives are still in use at the architectural office

f. determine to what degree proactive preservation actions can reduce costs and lead to better information management

g. provoke a mentality shift in the information management in architectural offices

The project will focus on the possibility of transforming current workflows in order to make the digital born archives of architectural offices more suitable for ingest in a digital repository.

Partners

The CVAa has grouped all its important partners concerning digital architectural archives in a platform for cooperation. You can find out about the member organizations of the platform on http://www.cvaa.be/nl/platform/platform-digitaal.

The cooperation of a number of architectural offices is essential for this project. In the course of its work on digital architectural archives and thanks to its embedment in the VAi, the Flemish Architecture Institute, the CVAa has been able to establish good relations with leading architectural offices in Flanders.

In the first phases of the project, the cooperation of PACKED vzw was very important and positive. It’s the ambition of the CVAa to continue to work together with the colleagues of PACKED. (See also ‘Methods > strong institutional leaders’ below)

If possible, the research can be situated in an international context. The CVAa thinks of partners like NAi (The Dutch institute of architecture) or Cité de l’architecture. CVAa is also an active member of ICAM (International Confederation of Architectural Museums).

Architecture is not the only domain that has to cope with CAD files. Thereby, the SRA lays a great emphasis on interdisciplinary research. In accordance with this, the CVAa wants to work together with other domains like engineering, (industrial) design and archeology to assess how they handle their heritage and the preservation of digital information.

Methods

- Training * [By active assistance to architectural offices, the CVAa wants to increase the awareness of architects of the importance of professional information management for the preservation of the cultural heritage that their archives contain and provoke a mentality shift]

- Best practices: * [The CVAa wants to introduce best practices on digital information management in Flemish architectural offices]

- Strong institutional or personal leaders * [PACKED, the Flemish centre of expertise concerning digital heritage, is during a long time an important partner for the CVAa in its inquiries to digital architectural archives. They play a key role in Flemish and international heritage networks when it comes to the digital question. Especially in Flanders, they are consulted by most cultural heritage institutions. The CVAa will continue cooperating with PACKED vzw in its digital projects]

- Mobility of experts - Standards * [In accordance with the aim to introduce best practices in digital

information management at architectural offices in order to facilitate future heritage and archival valorization, we want to convince architects to use standards for creating, documenting and keeping their digital information. (p.e. migration of .skp-files to collada…) PACKED vzw stands for the use of open source software and of international standards, a policy the CVAa wants to introduce at architectural offices where possible.]

- Work shops * [See: training] - Platforms * [In 2013, the CVAa erected different platforms for the support of its

research and activities. One of those platforms concerns our work about digital architectural archives. During the project, we will deliberate intensively within this platform.]

- Harvesting results, knowledge sharing - Policies

- Public Private Partnerships * [The core of the project will consist of a partnership with architectural offices. It is also wishful to involve an archival institution specialized in architecture, like APA, the Architectuurarchief van de Provincie Antwerpen’, the NAi or the KADOC-KULeuven.]

- EU Funding: ERA NET Plus - EU Funding: COST action - EU Funding: Marie Curie - Other methods, like:

Impact Architectural offices will show a greater awareness for the management of their digital archives, what will lead to better managed archives and a better access for researchers and heritage professionals that look for documentation on the built environment. The results of this project will provide the CVAa with a strong base upon which can be further built upon. Once appraisal criteria and the possibilities of a proactive acquisition will be investigated, further analysis can follow, like:

The development of a metadata standard for CAD-files The development of a workflow for ingest in a digital repository The assessment of file formats and software packages concerning their durability The development of tools that can help architects in managing their digital

archive The CVAa will be able to exchange experiences and knowledge with other (international) heritage institutions. Duration 2 years Dissemination

Result Please give a short description of what you want to achieve Glass research: Goal No. 1: Referring to the geographical importance of Belgium in Medieval and Post-Medieval times, our overall goal is to increase the material and technical knowledge of the Belgian window glass in order to make it applicable for the evaluation of archaeological window glass collections in Northwestern Europe. Approximately 10-15% of the total collection would be investigated and interpreted by a multidisciplinary team of human and natural scientists. This would be made possible by a methodology using both Absorption/Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Raman Spectroscopy as first-line analysis technique and to further quantify the chemical composition using the standard techniques SEM-EDX and LA-ICP-MS. Goal No. 2: To define optical measurands which reveal information about the applied furnace conditions during fabrication. For this research we need to fabricate ‘home-made’ glass fragments (well-defined composition and specific furnace conditions). Goal No. 3: To increase the accessibility of applied optical techniques for human scientists dealing with the study of window glass by developing an ‘intelligent’ ‘open access’ database to enable future scientists to compare their material with the Belgian data to link the material to a specific glass cluster.

Non-invasive soil inventory techniques for archaeological prospection

The destructive nature of common archaeological prospection techniques, such as

trenching, excavations and augering, is being commented as cost inefficient and

ineffective. Therefore, increasingly non-invasive methods of investigation are being used

for archaeological prospection and evaluation. In soil science several of such sensor are

currently being used for mapping soil properties on-the-go, mainly in support of precision

agriculture. These techniques have hardly found their way into the management of the

buried cultural heritage. Especially in the context of climate change it can be expected

that the status of soil properties such as organic carbon, pH and moisture balance will be

disturbed possibly affecting the conservation of buried remains. To monitor such changes

non-invasive methods are crucial. This topic envisages the adaptation, improvement,

field testing and validation of existing mobile soil sensing techniques for the inventory of

soil properties such as organic carbon, pH and texture in support of the management of

the subsoil archaeological heritage on a landscape scale.

Investigation of degradation mechanisms of cultural objects to establish preventive conservation

and restoration strategies

Environmental conditions are responsible for degradation phenomena causing damage to cultural

objects, movable and immovable. There is a need for accurate damage assessment and improved

techniques for the diagnosis and monitoring of the state of conservation of cultural objects affected

by changing environmental conditions.

The effects of climate changes, e.g., extreme drought and long term elevated humidity levels and

pollutants, on cultural heritage is an international problem with consequences not fully understood

affecting a wide range of artworks ranging from built heritage to museum objects. Research is

needed to understand these phenomena to implement proper conservation methods in relation to

the different climatic regions.

The causes of deterioration of artworks from a material point of view, are manifold, and very often

damage mechanisms change depending on the presence of particular environmental factors. A

good knowledge of the mechanisms by which environmental factors affect works of art is an

essential prerequisite for a sustainable conservation practice.

On the other hand cultural heritage environments are very complex, composed by works of art and

human presence. What we see is seldom the work of art in its original condition. The deterioration

of an object or a monument is also linked to its use within a religious or civil context and the way it

has maintained its function in the past. The artefact bears also the traces of historical events as

conflicts or natural, political, societal and economical change; even the public appraisal has his

influence on the way it is conserved. The attention has to be focused not only on a single cultural

object (monument or painting), but also on the overall context of the site representing cultural

identities having different spatial or temporal characteristics or typologies. Processes and actors

operating in a site or a museum (stakeholders or tourism) interact in a demand/supply mechanism.

A proper management system for a sustainable indoor/outdoor cultural heritage environment has

to be set up by means of projects that study the scientific criteria and tools to measure and

regulate human’ impact on cultural heritage sites that develop simulations and finally validate

them.

Following research is needed: - Multidisciplinary approach on the interaction between the environment and materials, and this

in the field of movable objects (metal, paper, glass, ceramics, (mural) paintings, stone,

polychromed sculptures, textile, etc.), immovable (buildings and archaeological sites) and digital

and audio-visual heritage.

- Interactions between specific environmental factors (T, RH, etc.) and complex artefacts made of

different materials.

- Impact of environmental conditions (climate change) on materials and structures and

adaptation of technologies to mitigate negative effects (corrosion phenomena of metals, salt

laden built materials, concrete, etc.).

- Determination of critical levels of environmental conditions for an appropriate preservation of

works of art as well as cultural information storage media

- Development of innovative methodologies to refine markers of degradation as continuous

challenge for the improvement of the assessment of works of art.

- Analysis of pressure and impacts of human activities on different sites.

- Development, testing and validation of models to reduce environmental impacts on movable

and immovable cultural heritage.

- Development of a methodology on material history as management tool of future conservation

and restoration strategies.

- The study of the reception and perception of cultural heritage in a global changing environment

including the restoration policies of governmental organization, scholarly societies or important

collection owners.

- Development of scientific criteria and tools to measure and regulate environmental and human

impact on cultural heritage sites.

Development and assessment of materials and techniques for sustainable conservation and

restoration of works of art

Cultural heritage artefacts are unique and composite materials, which should be protected and

preserved in all of their components.

Conservation is the key to preventing deterioration of works of art, be it movable or immovable: it

is one of the main conditions for transmitting cultural heritage to future generations. This goal can

be achieved by using materials and technologies that ensure the long-term permanence and

durability of works of art. Through micro-invasive examination techniques for artworks, providing

data on the structural elements and components of historical materials, materials and techniques

are developed to ensure the conservation of buildings, sites, movable and immovable artefacts.

Through the evaluation of treatments and materials used in conservation and restoration in the

past, assessing their suitability and future consequences, new products and treatments are

developed supported by an analysis protocol for the time effect evaluation.

Products/treatments used for conservation purposes must be tested along ageing, as regards

compatibility, durability, permanence and reversibility.

Following reserach is needed - Evaluation of the performance of products and treatments in the past and their suitability and

future consequences.

- Development of new materials and techniques for the conservation and restoration of works of

art.

- Modelling and simulation for predictive evaluation and validation of materials and treatments.

- Impact of “energy efficient” interventions on historic structures.

- Methodology for the identification of modern materials (plastics, ceramics, porcelain, alloys,

glasses, new dyes, concrete, mortars).

- Methodology to evaluate the degradation phenomena of modern materials.

- Innovative technologies for the conservation and durability of contemporary art materials

(plastics, ceramics, porcelain, alloys, glasses, new dyes and pigments, concrete, mortars).

- Strategies and procedures for the storage and preservation of digital heritage, including flexible

accessibility for a broad range of uses.
