| Summary: | The Maritime Asia Heritage Survey works to systematically inventory and document endangered tangible cultural heritage in the Maldives and Indonesia – including historical structures, archaeological sites, manuscripts and physical objects. The documentation produced in the course of our work includes site, feature, and object records with geospatial data, digital photography, LiDAR point clouds, orthophotomaps, 3D models, CAD site plans and architectural elevations, IIIF digitized manuscripts, and oral history video interviews
The materials documented through this work are critically endangered, facing both natural and human threats. Our work thus creates a digital archive of multimedia source material for the history of the Indian Ocean world. All data is also made open-access available on our project website: https://maritimeasiaheritage.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp
The Maritime Asia Heritage Survey is based at Kyoto University’s Center for Southeast Asian Studies. It is led by Prof. R. Michael Feener (PI and Director), together with Dr Patrick Daly (Co-PI) and Prof. Noboru Ishikawa (Co-PI). The project is financially supported by the Arcadia Fund, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin (project number 4309).
The MAHS Digital Heritage Documentation Lab is hosted by the Kyoto University Center for Southeast Asian Studies. Work in the Maldives is done in partnership with the Maldives National Center for Cultural Heritage, Ministry of Arts, Culture and Heritage, and in Indonesia with the Directorate General of Culture, Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology. NB: This is a large dataset, and may require considerable time and bandwidth to download.
