Audiovisual cultural assets of Obwalden recorded
The canton of Obwalden has compiled an overview inventory of its audiovisual heritage, including the natural yodel collection of "Juiz researcher" Edi Gasser.
In a broad-based survey of cultural institutions, municipalities, companies, associations and private individuals, 69 collections with a total of around 1.3 million audiovisual media were recorded. The Office for Culture and Sport, the State Archives and Memoriav, the competence center for the preservation of Switzerland's audiovisual cultural heritage, were all involved. On behalf of the Federal Office of Culture (FOC) and together with the cantons, Memoriav compiles an overview of the audiovisual holdings in all regions of the country.
Among others, Edi Gasser's holdings of the Unterwaldner Naturjuiz Foundation and music archives of private individuals from Sarnen and Alpnach are recorded. The overview inventory resulting from the project is managed and maintained by the State Archives. The inventory is not binding for owners or institutions. As the name suggests, it is intended to provide an overview of Obwalden's audiovisual cultural landscape and highlight holdings of public interest. The overview inventory of the Canton of Obwalden can be downloaded in anonymized form.
