Who will save the voices of ordinary people?
an article by Gianbruno Ravenni
published in 'Cultura Commestibile' n. 632 (Firenze, 26/09/2026, p. 9)
The article traces the long-standing work carried out in Tuscany regarding the preservation, digitization, and promotion of oral archives: from the first census of oral collections and the 'Gra.fo' project, through the projects 'Archivio Vi.Vo.', 'H2IOSC' and 'STOA', up to the ongoing project 'Nara Racconta'.
The article highlights the progressive development of methods, infrastructure and expertise aimed at safeguarding oral sources and making them accessible for both the research community and the communities from which they originate.
A key institutional outcome of this extensive journey of research and collaboration was the establishment of the CLARIN K-Centre 'K-OAr', which brings together and further develops the expertise gained over the years in matter of preservation, management, study and reuse of oral sources.
