Launched in 2003 by UNESCO, the Charter for the Preservation of Digital Heritage
highlighted the importance of data preservation, since then efforts have been
made to establish attractive principles that justify investments by governments
and institutions to preserve this type of heritage, formed above all from the
process of adopting digital information and communication technologies. In order
to contribute to the discussion and understanding of this type of heritage and to
collaborate with the construction of those principles, this work researched the
process of creating the Collection of the Casa de Memória Transxingu, in Altamira,
Pará, an essentially digital collection created to preserve the culture from the
process of inventorying the cultural assets of the medium-low Xingu region, a way
of compensating for the profound changes that the installation of the Belo Monte
Hydroelectric Power Plant brought to the region. We show how the laws for the
preservation of cultural heritage and the preservation of the environment were
constructed and linked over time in order to preserve culture by determining the
inventory of cultural assets in the region and detail the stages of idealization,
projection and execution of the processes. of construction of the House of
Memory, the inventory and assembly of the Museum Space intended to promote
and preserve the Collection, discussing at each moment important points
regarding the use of this type of heritage as a way of preserving cultural heritage,
demonstrating how digital heritage can preserve cultural heritage by becoming a
digital cultural heritage.
