Project Summary

Peru, Mexico, and Bolivia, as well as other Latin-American countries, hold a vast and rich documentary and bibliographic collections. Preserving and enhancing those collections are key drivers to highlight the complex process to gather and create them, and to further know and maintain the identity and culture of different peoples. However, most of these collections are not well kept, due partly to the lack of specific skills of personnel in charge of keeping it. This differs from Europe where Universities have developed specific curricula to cover this need, and are actively cooperating with other institutions such as libraries to preserve all the document heritage. Hence, our project CODICIS seeks to design, implement and test a specialization course to preserve and manage heritage documentary collections. CODICIS also intends to create or improve labs at the HEIs to preserve and restore document and archive collections. We have set several specific objectives: – To develop a pedagogical and scientific methodology to analyse and intervene the state of documents and bibliographic collections with heritage content- Knowledge transfer from EU HEIs about preserving bibliographic heritage- Capacity building on criteria to preserve, describe, classify and catalogue documentary and library heritage materials. – Providing equipment to the partner HEIs for the correct preservation and academic use of cultural heritage materialsThe project will last 36 months. It will be coordinated by Universidad Católica San Pablo from Arequipa (Peru), involving other 9 partners from Italy, Spain, Mexico, Peru and Bolivia.
