Digital Archive Program of the Songjiang Battle Array

Abstract

“Song-jiang Battle Array,” which has been developed and preserved in Neimen, Kaohsiung County for three hundred years, is a precious cultural heritage. With the transformation of the society, however, Song-jiang Battle Array is now facing problems concerning its preservation, distribution, and its distance with people's lives in the rapid modern society. This project, therefore, aims to preserve and spread Song-jiang Battle Array with digitized content development through the collaboration between Go-ping Community Association (the archive sector) and National Taiwan University of Arts (the academic sector).This project aims to construct a “Digital Culture & Art Village of Song-jiang Battle Array” through six goals of digital content development–digital preservation, public demonstration, culture education, academic research, cultural inheritance, and value-added application planning. Through the six goals of digital content developments with the collaboration between the academic sector and the archive sector, it is expected that the project would not only preserve and spread the cultural heritage “Song-jiang Battle Array,” but also remove the barrier between traditional culture and modern life. Furthermore, it would create new commercial values for traditional culture, and a new business model would be created with the combination between digital archive and cultural creative designing industry.
