MoW partnerships with the academic sector have always been valuable due to the capacity of academia to articulate and promote a deeper understanding of how documentary heritage is relevant to contemporary socio-cultural issues. Additionally, academic human and material resources have been pivotal for innovations in the preservation of documentary heritage.
The Preserving Documentary Heritage in AlUla project aims to enhance collaboration with educational institutions and leverage opportunities for research, teaching, and learning. This is crucial for the key project goal of actualizing the potential of documentary heritage to serve as a tangible resource for intercultural dialogue, social cohesion, and education.
To that end, the MoW Programme seeks to engage with researchers in the pursuit of scholarly collaboration. An upcoming research project will explore AlUla’s documentary heritage that illuminates multiple elements of our shared past, including the evolution of the Arabic language, ancient kingdoms and historic advancements, the exchange of people and cultures across the Arab world, and the impacts of these on the wider world.
This collaborative research is also expected to play a part in shaping courses for study as well as provide teaching and learning opportunities in collaboration with memory institutions such as archives, libraries, and museums.
By knowledge-building, knowledge-sharing, and international cooperation through research, it is hoped that the ensuing understandings of the value of preservation and access to documentary heritage can contribute to intercultural dialogue, sustainable development, and peace.
