Archives Strengthening Historical Narrative: Sharing digital and linked data ...Design for Context
Private collections provide engaging windows into little-known subjects that, when made discoverable, are incredibly relevant to many diverse audiences. The Texas Coastal Bend Collection (TCBC) is a digital-first private collection that offers rich insight into the culture of the Texas Coastal Bend ranching communities, starting with the Irish immigration in 1834. The site’s topic-based framework immerses people in the region’s cultural history. Rich, well-structured metadata (subjects, people, places, historic events, relationships) allows every page to be a gateway for exploring over 200 artistic photographs, 9,000 images, archival documents, books, maps, genealogies, and 1,400 hours of oral history.
We describe the strategies and tools that enable rich exploration of the TCBC’s unique resources, its maintenance by a small dedicated staff, and how meaningful digital connections with other institutions can foster storytelling across an array of subjects. The digital approach that underpins the TCBC, incorporating highly structured categorization, linked data, IIIF, and a unique audio player, provides insights that can be used by other museums and archives.

The Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre (TAEC) is an independent, non-profit museum dedicated to promoting the appreciation and preservation of cultural diversity in Lao PDR. Like most museums, TAEC maintains a collection of artefacts, curates exhibitions, and promotes scholarship and learning through research and outreach activities. However, TAEC is also a museum representing living cultures in a developing country context, and as such faces a unique set of challenges for which it has developed specific approaches.
In a country with low education levels and a lack of museum and non-traditional learning opportunities, simply drawing in Lao visitors and creating a meaningful experience for them requires creativity and active visitor management. TAEC has developed a range of activities for children visiting the museum and also conducts sessions in schools to broaden its reach. Attracting adults has remained more elusive. To facilitate the building of further cultural heritage resources in Laos, TAEC conducts capacity-building activities for government staff of museums, NGO workers, and tourism professionals.
TAEC’s most challenging but meaningful objective is to promote cultural pride and revitalisation within ethnic minority communities themselves. TAEC has explored approaches including an ethnic minority intern programme, collaborative exhibition development with villages, and an ethnic cultural festival. Recognising that rural ethnic communities are amongst Laos’ poorest populations, TAEC also runs a handicrafts development programme, generating income for over 600 artisans in 11 provinces of the country.
TAEC views all these approaches (and others) as part of its education and advocacy programmes, and crucial to the sustainability of the organisation, its mission, and cultural heritage management itself. The challenge is how to progress from simply educating local populations to understand and value the idea of cultural diversity, to adopting the task of fostering cultural diversity, and finally, to taking leadership in their own communities to tackle their specific cultural heritage issues through home-grown approaches.

Networking the Cultural Heritage of the Baltic Diaspora (Piret Noorhani)heritageorganisations.eu
According to different sources, the number of World War II refugees ranged between 7.5 and 30 million, including over 200 000 Baltic people who fled to the West among them.
Baltic refugees were able to retain their identity thanks to the cultural and educational life of the Baltic communities that had begun already in the DP camps. Formation of the earliest cultural history archives dates back to the same period. After leaving DP camps, Baltic refugees moved on to Sweden, the United States, Australia, Canada and other countries where the local Baltic communities founded their archives that have been functioning thanks to the support and voluntary work of the community members. The aim of these archives has been to gather and preserve the history of the Baltic people in exile – archival materials, printed matter, art, ethnographic and other items. Memory institutions have formed the basis of national culture supporting and safeguarding the continuity of historic knowledge.
With the political changes of end of the 1980s, memory institutions in the Baltic countries also became involved in collecting the cultural heritage of the Baltic Diaspora, as a result of which part of these materials have been brought to the Baltic states. However, a large majority of the archival resources is still preserved abroad, in community and private archives, but also in national memory institutions of the countries with the Baltic Diaspora. In 2005 gathered a work group consisting of the representatives of the Estonian memory institutions and those of the Estonian Diaspora. Their task was to coordinate and facilitate the mapping and preservation of the cultural heritage of the Estonian Diaspora. By the present day the cooperation network has been extended to reach partners from Latvia and Lithuania as well as from the Latvian and Lithuanian Diaspora. In January 2008 was established a new NGO, the Baltic Heritage Network, focussing on organisation of thematic events, gathering of information on Baltic archives abroad in the portal BaltHerNet (www.balther.net) as well as on dissemination of archival know-how and best practices among Baltic communities.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. IT IS ALL ABOUT PROMOTING REAL LIFE EXAMPLES OF
TOLERANCE
3. Yiddishland
At the beginning of the 20th century the
Jewish population here reached 7 million
people, 95% of whom were speaking
Yiddish
The names of the small towns (shtetls) in
Yiddish sounded like: Vilna, Kovno, Shavli,
Ponevezh, Yanishok, Telz, Plungian, Kelm,
Shedova
4. The Holocaust
During the Holocaust (Shoah) over
90% of the local Jews were
annihilated
5. Forgetting destroys the history, remembering
creates the future
during the Soviet times, Jewish topics had to be
avoided, it was dangerous to learn Hebrew
50 years after WWII, we did not know the word
“Holocaust”
Those, who survived, did not speak about pre-war
Jewish life and the Holocaust in their families
Today Holocaust has such a strong emotional impact
on people’s minds, that the Jewish life before it often
remains unattended.
6. We can’t let Litvaks’ culture melt with the time
The revival of the Lithuanian Jewish culture
and preservation of the heritage will pay a
great respect and honor in the memory of
those who perished
It will reveal an extremely rich Litvak culture for
us, living today
It will play a significant educational role for
the younger generations
7. Historians, journalists, public figures acknowledge:
that we still know very little about the
tremendous cultural contribution that Jews
had once made to the East European
culture
the value of the high level of tolerance and a
unique co-existence of nations in the Grand
Duchy of Lithuania, which we should learn
and follow
8. Where one can find information about Litvaks’
heritage today?
The massive amount of materials related to the
Litvaks’ heritage remains tucked away in public and
personal archives
An abundance of websites, yet the majority of them
is in Lithuanian, covering only some particular issues
Materials are mostly in Lithuania, remaining
inaccessible for most people from other countries
11. Our main idea in creating www.litvakworld.com
Bringing the hidden to the surface:
taking history from drawers and personal
archives to the virtual world of Litvaks
12. Our aims
• revive the history of Litvaks and reinstate it
into the history of Lithuania
• revitalize the ties between Litvaks and
Lithuania
• serve educational purposes for people all
over the world
• promote the ideas of tolerant societies
13. Our objectives
• to spread knowledge about Litvaks’ history and
cultural heritage
• to reveal and share real family stories
• to support scholars, volunteers, organizations who
make efforts to shed light on unexplored areas of the
heritage of Lithuanian Jews
• to install signs related to the Litvaks’ history in Lithuanian
towns and countryside
• to film Holocaust witnesses’ interviews
• to translate the documents and other information that
we have here in Lithuania into English

the book into English.
29. Current projects: “Smuggled in Potato Sacks”
We have agreed upon the
copyright with the authors of
the book “Smuggled in Potato
Sacks” for translating it into
Lithuanian. The book tells the
stories of 50 Jewish kids who
were rescued from the Kovno
ghetto by Lithuanian families.
The book will be also gifted to
the Lithuanian schools.
31. Our new projects for development
• To create an educational resource - Litvak history
in cartoon animation
• To publish an art album on Litvak art works
from private collections
• To arrange translations from Yiddish of a special
fund of saved Jewish books and documents
still remaining untouched since the World War II
33. We kindly invite Litvaks from all over the world
to visit our website, to investigate and share the history of
the shtetls
to join us building a global Litvak community, sharing
ideas, questions, contacts, information
support our investigations and restoration projects
help us with the fundraising ideas
34. We would appreciate help in
finding relevant information related to the history
of Lithuanian Jews (articles, documents, pictures,
family stories, etc.)
raising funds for translations and publishing
articles and books on Litvaks’ heritage
funding the rewards of experts who explore the
history of Lithuanian Jews and help to maintain
high authenticity of the virtual museum’s content
raising funds for the restoration of Jewish cultural
objects
35. Would appreciate any kind of Your support
