ASEAN launches cultural heritage digital archiving project

22 February 2018 -

The ASEAN Cultural Heritage Digital Archive (ACHDA) project was launched this week to present ASEAN’s cultural heritage on one website, making it possible for the public to access some of ASEAN’s museum collections more easily. The online portal will consolidate select digital archives of cultural heritage including artefacts, old documents and paintings. The project will also supplement the existing digital archives of ASEAN member states as it will digitise cultural heritage objects.

The ACHDA project is being implemented by the ASEAN Secretariat with support from the Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund (JAIF).
