By focusing on both tangible and intangible heritage-ranging from archaeological sites and historic architecture to festivals, crafts, and oral traditions-the project aims to foster community engagement and contribute to the consolidation of national memory. Leveraging the House of Knowledge as a local innovation hub, the study employs an action research methodology structured around four phases: identifying heritage assets and best practices; creating digital archives and interactive platforms using tools such as ArcGIS Experience Builder; disseminating knowledge through multimedia exhibitions and community participation; and evaluating the impact on cultural identity and local tourism. The inventory includes over 80 cultural spaces and audiovisual recordings from key museums, ensuring a comprehensive and participatory approach. This project demonstrates how digital culture and repositories can revitalise rural heritage and promote inclusive, sustainable heritage management.Attribution 4.0 International LicenseCCS Concepts New Technologies applied to Heritage; Digital libraries and archives; Houses of Knowledge NetworkCCS Concepts New Technologies applied to HeritageDigital libraries and archivesHouses of Knowledge Network10.2312/dh.202532252 pages
