Visual and Audio Documents of Intangible Cultural Heritage: Their Preventive Conservation and Contribution to the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage

Wednesday October 21, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm EEST

Atrium 5th floor: Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania

This study examines the role of audiovisual media in the representation and safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), emphasizing their significance as both documentation tools and cultural artifacts. It begins with a historical overview of audiovisual media—photography, sound recording, and moving image—tracing their evolution and their contribution to cultural expression. The research then explores the conceptual framework of Tangible and Intangible Cultural Heritage, highlighting the complex relationship between them as reflected in audiovisual records.
Through the analysis of selected case studies, particularly drawing on the National Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Greece, the study investigates how ICH is documented, represented, and transmitted through audiovisual means. Special attention is given to the dual nature of these media, which embody both material vulnerability and intangible cultural value.

Furthermore, the research addresses the risks of deterioration affecting audiovisual materials and underlines the importance of preventive conservation strategies, including proper storage and digitization. The findings stress the need for a balanced and sustainable approach to preservation, ensuring both the protection of the physical medium and the long-term accessibility of the cultural information it carries.
