The founder of the Danish Folk Museum and the Open-Air Museum, Bernhard Olsen, took a special interest in former Danish provinces; Scandinavian areas lost to Sweden in the 17th century, and Schleswig lost to Prussia in 1864. This paper examines the efforts made by Bernhard Olsen to obtain a farm house from the village of Ostenfeld in Schleswigfor the Open Air Museum, and the struggle between the Danish and the German elements in the attempt to define the national and cultural heritage of the region. These nationalistic intentions are seen in relation to the choice of exhibits and exhibition language in the new folk museums of the period.

Abstract Over the past two decades, the European Commission has mobilised cultural heritage to bolster a European identity. One of the main flagship initiatives promoted to this end has been Europeana, the most extensive digital cultural project financed by the EU. At the core of the project stands europeana.eu, a digital cultural portal aggregating metadata provided by national and local heritage institutions. Central in our analysis is the Europeana Data Model (EDM). Using standardised thesauri and vocabularies, EDM offers the possibility to create a semantic contextualisation for objects, allowing semantic operations on the metadata and their enrichment with Linked Open Data on the web. Due to its overarching nature, EDM cannot deliver the granularity that cultural heritage institutions need when documenting their resources. Nonetheless, heritage institutions accept to sacrifice accuracy to have their information represented in a Europewide collection. We study how this digital heritage infrastructure was designed to enact a sense of Europeanness amongst national and local institutions. Policy documents, ethnographic research and a systematic survey amongst the European heritage institutions enabled us to trace how a standardised European metadata structure plays a role in governing local and national heritage institutions. The EDM might enable heritage stakeholders to benefit from Europeana’s online exposure while enacting a European mindset. Ultimately, this study of the metadata model enriches the debate on the EU’s cultural heritage politics, which has not fully explored the role of the digital. At the same time, it also taps into debates about infrastructure and digital governmentality.

The present article is based on the field study which was done in one of the districts of capital city Delhi and the state of Haryana with a focus on the study of stone sculptures worshipped by the village communities. There have been several examples where sculptures and other architectural fragments were being deified by the local communities and are revered as tutelary deities. Most of these sculptures once adorned the temples and shrines of ancient or early medieval period. However, in a lot of villages where sculptures were reported earlier were found missing for several reasons. In fact, it was realised that most of the antiquities were later smuggled out of the country. This brought the attention to the harsh reality that there are hundreds and thousands of undiscovered and undocumented sculptures, which make them easy targets. There are many organisations, both state run and private, that have devoted themselves in the task of preserving them.2 Similarly, many historical sites and monuments have been ruined due to the negligence of both natives and the government authorities. Whether in ignorance or in a deliberate attempt, these sculptures are rapidly being targeted and depriving this area of its legacy. This attitude is steadily leading the historical heritage towards its extinction. Thus, how can the historical legacy be protected from the ravages? This brought the discussion to legal reforms, which have been introduced since the British times. This article will trace the journey of specific laws with regard to the conservation of the national heritage; more specifically, sculptures with an emphasis on the role of individuals in the introduction of the laws. It then discusses the legislations that were enacted by the Government of India since independence till the most recent times and, finally, about the relevance and awareness regarding the laws that ensure the conservation of national heritage from further pilferage.

One of the results of the educational reform of the 1860s was the formation of the regular personnel of village teachers. In Vilna educational district the goal was not to invite teachers from central Russia, but to train them on the spot by establishing special seminaries. Trained teachers were supposed to perform the role of «cultural brokers» – the intermediaries between local peasants and the outside world, between the culture of Russian intelligentsia and the culture of the Belarusian people. The article examines how officials and teachers of Vilna educational district saw the role of rural teachers as «cultural brokers» in the context of the linguistic and cultural diversity of the North-Western Provinces. According to them, the graduates of the pedagogical seminaries had to remain within the peasant estate and to keep in touch with their folk «roots». The special «mission» of the village teachers was in promoting the ideas of «Russian elements» and historical proximity to Russia among Belarusian peasants.
