Résumé en anglais
The Syrian Heritage Archive Project (SHAP) started in 2013 as a digitizing project of the collections of materials from renowned German scientific researchers. The project was located at both the German Archaeological Institute (DAI) and the Museum of Islamic Art (SMB) in Berlin, financed by the German Foreign Office, currently for the 5th project stage.
The project group at the Museum of Islamic Art consists of a multidisciplinary team of differentprofessionals of mostly Syrian and of German background. In addition to the basic database work, over the course of several years of dialogue and discussion within the core team, the emphasis has also been
brought to other crucial focus points related to the material culture of Syria. In 2015, with a growing number of Syrians reaching Germany, the idea for the Multaka Project came up - an award-winning art education project enabling young Syrians guiding refugees through the collectionsof Berlin museums. In 2016, due to the worsening devastations caused by the ongoing Syrian war, an affiliated damage assessment project with regard to the historic monuments of Aleppo evolved, which,among others, develops a special app for professionals on spot.
The paper shall give an overview of the ongoing activities of the Syrian Heritage Archive Projectprogressing from digitizing, networking and public outreach to awareness raising and capacity building.
