Active Archives: archiving starts now

Collective Taxonomy Mapping

From 4 to 5 December 2008
Workshop · Meeting · Museu Picasso, Barcelona

How can taxonomies of various cultural institutions be brought into relation? How could we develop tools that map differences, variations and overlaps? In what way can we facilitate negotiations between systems in order to make sharing possible without losing one’s specificity?

The Constant Active Archive team (Nicolas Malevé, Michael Murtaugh, Femke Snelting) meet and discuss with archivists from the Museo Nacional d’Art de Catalunya, Photo department of the National Achive of Catalonia, Filmoteca de Catalunya Archive, Museu Picasso and Fundació Antoni Tàpies.
