Abstract

This paper examines a preservation of intangible socio-cultural values of cultural object through the process of digitization, a participatory method, and an on-site preservation method. This research uses digital museum Museum Benda as the case study, where the objects are archived digitally. The objects represented socio-cultural values of a certain community of users and makers, including the social innovations that are found in their everyday life. In this case, the participatory approach becomes one of the methods to study the objects. In addition, on-site preservation through digitization is also one of the means to be able to preserve the artifact in its original site, while simultaneously storing and publishing the digital information. Museum Benda does not only allow the re-data of cultural objects digitally but also plays a role in preserving objects through an on-site approach by reviving community activities, building identity, and maintaining human and natural resources.
