Searching for New Styles of Preservation and Utilization of Historical and Cultural Resources amid COVID-19 Pandemic

This presentation aims to suggest a direction to find new styles of preservation and utilization of historical and cultural resources according to discussions at two events which were held to provide opportunities to exchange information and opinions on how to preserve and utilize historical and cultural resources amid COVID-19 Pandemic. In the pandemic, to visit and stay in the field for research or preservation activities has been regulated. It is necessary to find and practice new styles for continuous activities, such as research activities with infection control practices or alternative ways of research without visiting and staying. Moreover, in this situation where digitalization and online release of resources are more required, it is required to reconsider the value and meaning of digital data and real materials.
