Improvement of data quality and interoperability between cultural heritage databases, particularly regarding Latin American collections.

Development of training materials and workshops on heritage documentation, provenance analysis, and identification of cultural goods of Brazilian and Latin American origin.

Case studies on the identification, documentation, and protection of indigenous cultural goods at risk.

Development of collaboratively produced documentaries on archival work processes and didactic materials elaborated in partnership with indigenous communities.
