Keywords: Education, Digital Documentation, International Heritage Preservation, Earthquake, Risk Assessment, Buddhist Monastery, Preservation
Abstract. Treasure Caretaker Training (Digital Monastery Project), teaches Buddhist monks, nuns and community cultural caretakers to protect and preserve their own monastery sacred art treasures. Participants learn to create digital inventories by use of their own mobile phones. Included in this documentation is the video interview of elders who hold the oral history of many of the treasures. Risk assessment and disaster mitigation are taught.
