Preserving Tibetan cultural heritage for future generations
Mission
Nestled in the majestic Himalayas lies a treasure trove of history and tradition, a legacy that whispers through the ages. This is the essence of Tibet, a land rich in cultural and traditional heritage, yet facing the risk of losing its ancestral echoes.
The Conserve Tibet Project emerges as a guardian of this precious heritage, fueled by a commitment to protect and share the soul of Tibetan culture. Initiated with the generous support of the Shelly and Donald Rubin Foundation, the mission is both noble and urgent: to discover, collect, preserve, and make accessible significant materials—especially audio and video recordings—that hold historical importance to the Tibetan people.
Approach
These aren't mere recordings; they are the heartbeat of Tibet, encapsulating its cultural and traditional essence. The goal is to ensure that these invaluable treasures are not only safeguarded from the ravages of time but also made available for the enrichment of current and future generations.
By employing the latest in digital preservation techniques and adhering to the best practices in archiving, the project is dedicated to maintaining the integrity and authenticity of every chant, every melody, and every image that forms the mosaic of Tibetan history.
Vision
The Conserve Tibet Project stands as a bridge between the past and the future. It is an endeavor that goes beyond preservation; it is about keeping the spirit of Tibet alive—ensuring that the rich tapestry of Tibetan chants, dances, rituals, and stories remains a living, breathing part of our collective memory and heritage.
