Exploring Knowledge: Safeguarding and Sharing Intangible Cultural Heritage
This paper provides an overview of the Intangible Cultural Heritage program developed by the Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It traces the early development of the program, and then provides an overview of two recent projects that explore, document, and encourage the continued safeguarding and sharing of ICH knowledge and skills: the Living Heritage Economy Case Study project, and the Oral History Roadshow. Background Newfoundland and Labrador is the easternmost province of Canada. Situated in the country's Atlantic region, it incorporates the island of Newfoundland and mainland Labrador to the northwest. It has a combined area of 405,212 square kilometres, with a population of just over 514,000. Most of the population is concentrated on the eastern portion of the island of Newfoundland.
