ACRA Webinar: Cultural Asset Mapping
Cultural Asset Mapping is an emerging practice that identifies and visualizes a community’s cultural assets—historic and intangible—through tools ranging from physical trails and signage to digital platforms like StoryMaps, UAV (drones), and immersive 3D point cloud data. While more developed in Europe, cultural asset mapping holds great promise for CRM professionals in the U.S.
This webinar explores how cultural asset mapping can enhance CRM practice in these key areas:
- Resource identification, documentation and inventories
- Context incorporating community knowledge and local perspectives
- Mitigation practices for adverse effects
