Welcome Our Goal Main Definitions Who We Are Operating Principles

Welcome to the wiki for the IPinCH project's Community-Based Cultural Heritage Research (CBCHR) Working Group. Our goal is to create a suite of well-connected, ever-evolving pages to share information, resources, tools, and perspectives on CBCHR. Our working definition of CBCHR is research on cultural heritage that is done with place- and culture-based groups and that seeks in large part to serve community interests and needs. Our definition of heritage is, "anything valued by people today that was also valued by previous generations... our inheritance of land, language, ecosystems, knowledge, and culture."[1]

The CBCHR Working Group co-chairs are Kelly Bannister (University of Victoria and Polis Project), Julie Hollowell (Indiana University), Ian Lilley (University of Queensland), and John R. Welch (Simon Fraser University). CBCHR research associates and other helpers include Jasmin Sykes, Soudeh Jamshidian, Karen Brady, Dionne Bunsha, Aleesha Bakkelund.

As is true for other wikis, we are designing and building this one for use as an open, collaborative platform. Begiining at first with members of the IPinCH project team, we will create toolkits for conducting, critiquting, and mobilizing the results of CBCHR. The resulting toolkits, along with any other wiki content, will be exported for adoption into Wikipedia, probably late in 2016 or early 2017. All collaborators are asked to become familiar with and adhere to our CHCHR style guide (TBA), and all submissions and edits will be trackable by login ID.

The wiki toolkits will direct users to sets of existing tools or practical aids. We will give particular attention to resources and documents compiled and tagged in the IPinCH Project Knowledge Base (KB). In this way the wiki pages can serve as an index and guide to KB resources. Following the completion of the IPinCH Project in 2016, an open-access version of the KB (stripped of copyright-protected material) will be 'migrated' to Summit, SFU's institutional research repository.
