Documentary data collection: an initial step for information management in the conservation and restoration of cultural heritage

A comprehensive documentary data collection system for the conservation and restoration of UNESCO World Heritage Sites can significantly enhance long-term safeguarding and unlock additional values. The study analyzes technical and administrative documentation from San Millán Yuso Monastery (Spain), highlighting gaps in information retrieval, classification, and description that hinder effective heritage management post-1997 declaration. By proposing a normalized classification chart and metadata framework, the research aims to bridge these gaps, ensuring scattered documents are systematically organized for future users. This approach not only supports efficient conservation but also facilitates new uses of archival data, addressing critical challenges in cultural heritage preservation.
