ICOFOM THESAURUS GROUP
|
|
|
|
The use of language capable of communicating the complex reality of today’s social and cultural values - ethical, aesthetic, scientific and technological - has been and still is a permanent concern for those in charge of analyzing and transmitting social and cultural messages, particularly when working in the field of museology.
Since 1993, the need to consolidate the work done throughout so many years, led to reaching an agreement on the methodology to retrieve, standardize and disseminate museological language. A working group was set up under the coordination of André Desvallées to start preparing the guidelines for the Encyclopaedia Museologica to be published. This work on terminology continues nowadays, chaired by André Desvallées, with the permanent contribution of François Mairesse and other specialized ICOFOM members.

| ICOFOM TRANSITION PROJECT |
|
|
|
The Transition Project is an international social movement unifying institutions and individuals within the sphere of cultural heritage, aimed at supporting the processes of democratic transformation.
This project was presented at the UNESCO General Conference in Paris by its founder, Dr. Vinos Sofka with the support of the Czech Republic. It was approved in October 1995 under the name of Heritage, Museums and Museology for Social, Cultural and Environmental Transition.
In 1999 the name was changed into From Oppression to Democracy, creating an International Movement devoted to support democratic transition in the world.
The main mission of this project is to prevent the threat of totalitarisms and to support the consolidation of democratic processes through the recognition of culture and heritage as significant factors of political, economical and social changes.

| ICOFOM ARGROUP |
|
|
|
ICOFOM has brought together a wide theoretical-documentary corpus, which calls for systematic reading, capable of extracting the conceptual wealth contained therein.
On April 2004, in the city of Buenos Aires, professionals in the field of museums, museology and related disciplines gathered to launch the activities of a research group set up in Argentina under the name of ICOFOM Argentinian Research Group (ArGROUP) which would be in charge of studying the pertinence of the documents pursued to each of the topics addressed throughout ICOFOM’s history.
The proposal was to analyze and evaluate all the papers presented for the last 30 years at the ICOFOM STUDY SERIES (ISS), to select for publishing the texts considered essential for the development of museological theory and to promote and disseminate its use among professionals on Museology and related disciplines, ICOM members, universities and schools of Museology among many others.
