Digitalization and Inventory of cultural heritage of Truso Valley

Digitalization and Inventory of cultural heritage of Truso Valley

DONOR:

European Heritage Hub, Europa Nostra

Conducting an extensive inventory of the Truso Valley allowed us to systematically document and assess the region’s cultural heritage. Our work included cataloging monuments and objects, capturing photo documentation, verifying GPS coordinates, and gathering essential information for inventory documentation and database integration. As part of this effort, we also prepared the legally required inventory documents—cultural heritage monument inventory cards—while updating and verifying existing records. The finalized documentation was submitted to the National Agency for Cultural Heritage Preservation of Georgia to facilitate the recognition of identified sites as immovable cultural heritage monuments. Key Achievements: Digital Access We launched a dedicated website providing online access to information about the valley’s cultural monuments. Community Engagement Local students actively participated in the project, fostering a deeper connection with their cultural heritage. Between June and October 2024, we conducted fieldwork and expeditions, resulting in the compilation of 93 inventory cards for cultural heritage sites in Truso. Notably, 30 of these were newly identified and documented by our team. Previously, the state had recorded 61 objects, but only 17 were officially granted cultural heritage status. Additionally, LOMEKI had cataloged 74 objects, which led us to hypothesize the existence of further undocumented monuments. This assumption was confirmed through the execution of this project, reinforcing the need for continued research and preservation efforts.
