The Conserve Tibet Project
A Beacon of Cultural Legacy
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, our mission is both
noble and urgent: to discover, collect, preserve, and make
accessible significant materials, especially audios and videos,
that hold historical importance to the Tibetan people. These
aren't mere recordings; they are the heartbeat of Tibet,
encapsulating its cultural and traditional essence.
Our
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, we are dedicated to maintaining the
integrity and authenticity of every chant, every melody, and every
image that forms the mosaic of Tibetan history.
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. As we delve into
this journey, we extend an invitation to you to be a part of this
monumental task. Your support, interest, and advocacy are crucial
in ensuring that the vibrancy of Tibetan culture is not just a
flicker in history but a luminous flame that lights up the paths
of generations to come.
Join us in this grand endeavor.
Together, let's ensure that the rich tapestry of Tibetan chants,
dances, rituals, and stories, encapsulated in these historical
recordings, remains a living, breathing part of our collective
memory and heritage.
