DIGITAL PRESERVATION ACTIONS: CURT NIMUENDAJ\u00da\u2019S GAZE UPON THE ORIGINAL PEOPLES OF BRAZIL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

The Digital Preservation Actions<\/strong> project arises from the urgent need to rescue and protect the iconographic memory left by the German-born, naturalized Brazilian researcher, Curt Nimuendaj\u00fa (1883-1945). Considered the \"founding father\" of Ethnology in Brazil, Nimuendaj\u00fa dedicated his life to the study and defense of Indigenous cultures, leaving a legacy of unique photographic records of the individuals, territories, rituals, and customs of Brazil\u2019s original peoples.

\nThe original works held by the Museu Nacional<\/strong> (UFRJ)\u2014original photographs and negatives\u2014were lost in the tragic 2018 fire at the Pa\u00e7o de S\u00e3o Crist\u00f3v\u00e3o. However, thanks to a partnership initiated in 2016 with Funarte, digital capture masters were produced, which now allow for the \"rebirth\" of this collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are we accomplishing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sob coordena\u00e7\u00e3o da Prof\u00aa. Dr\u00aa. Tania Concei\u00e7\u00e3o Clemente de Souza, nossa iniciativa emprega as t\u00e9cnicas de preserva\u00e7\u00e3o e os recursos tecnol\u00f3gicos preconizados pelas autoridades do campo \u2013 IPHAN e CONARQ, para garantir que esse conhecimento n\u00e3o se perca e chegue \u00e0 sociedade de tr\u00eas formas principais:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Physical and Digital Reconstitution of the Photograph Set<\/strong>: Utilizing 483 digital capture masters, we are producing facsimiles<\/strong> (Fine Art prints meeting museum certification parameters for fidelity and conservation) and generating high-fidelity digital representatives for preservation masters and access derivatives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Rescue and Diffusion<\/strong>: The new works will be incorporated into the National Museum's collection through the institution's digital platforms and databases. This will allow researchers and the general public to access the works virtually, while enabling the descendants of these source communities to recover these works as a right to memory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • A publica\u00e7\u00e3o “Povos origin\u00e1rios e o olhar de Curt Nimuendaj\u00fa”<\/strong>: Al\u00e9m da preserva\u00e7\u00e3o, a obra traz uma curadoria cr\u00edtica sobre as fotografias e o contexto hist\u00f3rico de sua produ\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Why is this important?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Digitally preserving Nimuendaj\u00fa\u2019s gaze is more than a technical act; it is an action of virtual reparation and repatriation of these peoples' memory<\/strong>. By making these records available, we contribute to strengthening the representation of original peoples and offer the world a window into the cultural diversity that constitutes the formative identities of what we define as Brasilidade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This project is a true mission of \u201cdigital rescue\u201d of Curt Nimuendaj\u00fa\u2019s legacy, focusing on the safeguarding of 483 photographic records whose originals were tragically lost in the National Museum fire in 2018. The initiative goes beyond simple storage: it recovers the digital masters produced before the disaster and creates printed facsimiles with museum certification. In practice, the project returns physical existence to the collection, ensuring that Nimuendaj\u00fa\u2019s gaze upon the original peoples remains preserved for future generations, now protected against the vulnerabilities of time and space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To democratize this heritage, the plan foresees the creation of a free-access virtual platform, aimed at both the cultural public and scientific research. In addition to the digital environment, the project includes the publication of the book \u201cOriginal Peoples and the Gaze of Curt Nimuendaj\u00fa\u201d and the holding of a seminar on memory policies and heritage preservation. These actions transform material loss into an opportunity for broad diffusion, connecting the academic community and society in general to the urgent debate on the protection of our historical and ethnographic memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The project is in compliance with the requirements of Law No. 8.313\/91, Decree No. 11.453\/2023, and Normative Instruction No. 23, of February 05, 2025, and meets the criteria for social counterpart, accessibility, and democratization of access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The budget is compatible with the project's objectives, and the presented costs are aligned with the region's market values. No inconsistencies justifying a disallowance (glosa) were identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The proponent and their technical team demonstrate the aptitude to execute the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In view of the above and in agreement with the analyses of the reviewer and the linked unit, I conclude that the project meets the legal and normative requirements for approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our goals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    By promoting digital preservation actions of the photographic collection of Curt Nimuendaj\u00fa (1883-1945), a process initiated in 2016, before the Museu Nacional fire, we invest in the achievement of several goals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Production and safeguarding of the 483 Digital Representatives of the physical works destroyed in the 2018 fire and preserved in capture masters produced in cooperation between the Museu Nacional and Funarte;
      <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Production of printed facsimiles with museum certification;
      <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • To structure the Curt Nimuendaj\u00fa Photographic Collection of the Museu Nacional UFRJ through cataloging and diffusion on a web platform, with free access for cultural preservation and scientific research purposes;
      <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Organization of a book with curatorial selection and research on the historical contextualization of the production and work of the German researcher, naturalized Brazilian, Curt Nimuendaj\u00fa.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Cultural collection preservation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Nossa miss\u00e3o consiste em reconstituir o acervo com o estabelecimento de pol\u00edticas arquiv\u00edsticas, visando, com as normas t\u00e9cnicas preconizadas pelo IPHAN e CONARQ, recuperar a organicidade original da cole\u00e7\u00e3o, al\u00e9m da armazenagem e salvaguarda, a partir de impress\u00e3o Fine Art dos Representantes Digitais em imagens de alta fidelidade tonal, com tintas \u00e0 base de pigmentos minerais e em pap\u00e9is de alta performance para a preserva\u00e7\u00e3o de longo prazo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Specific objectives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      To catalog the Digital Representatives following technical parameters required for incorporation into web platforms with free and public access for the maintenance of digital preservation policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To diffuse the collection for cultural and academic preservation purposes, offering historical and geographical contextualization of Curt Nimuendaj\u00fa\u2019s ethnographic production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Produzir conhecimento sobre a abrang\u00eancia do percurso etnol\u00f3gico do autor e sua import\u00e2ncia para a preserva\u00e7\u00e3o da mem\u00f3ria dos povos origin\u00e1rios e a formula\u00e7\u00e3o de pol\u00edticas indigenistas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
