3. Interuniversity Platform for
Academic Heritage
• Begun in 2007
• Started with 4 members (1 of each
university)
• SAE as example
• Project funding from Flemish
Government
4. Aims of Platform
• Gain an overview of academic heritage (AH)
in Flanders
• Make university boards aware of the
necessity of policies on AH
• Design long-term strategies for professional
collection management of AH
• Gain and exchange expertise
• Make AH known to broader audience
5. Funded project: Balans en Perspectief
Phase I (2011 – 2012):
• Screening of universities of
Leuven, Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels
• 100 collections described
• Estimated amount over 1.000.000 objects
6.
7. Academic Heritage in Flanders
• Collection management ≠ core business
• 54 of 100 collections have inventories
→ Only 14 digital inventories
• 3 of 100 collections (partially) digitized
• Many collections lack any form of policy
• Conservation problems
9. Balans en Perspectief
Aims of phase II (2013-2014)
→ Screen other institutes for higher
education for AH
→ 8 colleges already contacted
→ 20 new collections ‘discovered’
10. Aims of phase II
→ Create stories about
extraordinary / rare /
significant objects
and collections
11.
12. Aims of phase II
→ Research on how to create an online
portal for AH
• Database with digitized objects + stories on
special objects/collections
• Report with results of research
→ Public event to present results of project
13. A future for academic heritage
→ Consolidate results of the project
→ Gear collection management to one
another
→ Making inventories and digitization is key
14. A future for academic heritage
→ From project basis to regular basis
→ Integrate initiatives for AH into policy:
→ at the level of universities
→ at the level of Flanders
