Abstract & description[edit source]
Abstract[edit source]
Museu Portátil (Portable Museum) is a Brazilian project which main output was the production of a free manual for GLAM institutions to digitize and disseminate their collections autonomously with a cell phone and low cost gadgets.
Description[edit source]
"The Portable Museum Project – Pocket Edition is a partnership between the Goethe-Institut São Paulo, Instituto Moreira Salles and Wiki Movimento Brasil and resulted in the development of the Portable Museum Manual, in addition to the training of two cultural institutions: Santa Casa de Misericórdia da Bahia (Jorge Calmon Memory Center) and the Museum of the Captaincy of Ilhéus that took place at the end of 2021.
Both institutions, qualified by the project in a pilot training, have in their collections essential documents and pieces for the dissemination of information about the African diaspora and slavery in the country, with emphasis on the Livros do Banguê (Santa Casa da Bahia), records of death of enslaved people to release the bodies, later buried in the Campo da Pólvora Cemetery, in Salvador.
The Goethe-Institut São Paulo invited curator Carolina Matos to create a partnership with Instituto Moreira Salles and Wiki Movimento Brasil with the aim of promoting, in an accessible and autonomous way, the practice of digitalizing collection data as a fundamental action for the preservation of different historical and cultural memory.
Thus, based on the purchase of reasonably accessible equipment and the training that resulted in detailed instructions for the manual, GLAM institutions of any size from all over the world can make its collection available to the public, decentralizing the production of content and dissemination of information and data through Wiki platforms.
