ICHCAP

Memoriamedia project has a peer-reviewed e-journal dedicated to promoting, communicating, and documenting projects, studies, and archives of intangible cultural heritage. For this issue, authors are invited to submit unpublished papers, videos, or e-exhibitions about digital technology and ICH.

Memória Imaterial CRL is a Portuguese ngo accredited to provide advisory services to the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. Since 2008, Memória Imaterial CRL has been collecting and promoting traditional, oral, and popular culture through its Memoriamedia Project.

Memoriamedia is grounded on the urge to identify, register, preserve, and promote folktales, legends, proverbs, and other forms of traditional and oral culture: the skills and knowledge of ancient artisans and the uses and rites prevailing in day-to-day professional, social, and family circles. Produced material is uploaded on the website www.memoriamedia.net.
