Mission & Interests
Goals: The European Fashion Heritage Association is a non-profit organisation established in 2014 in order to bring together and engage fashion institutions (Brand archives, Museums, Research institutions, etc.) and creative industries in the valorisation and exploitation of fashion heritage online. The Association is organizing every year special events, like conferences and training workshops with the aim of raising competencies and skills of its members on crucial topics like the use of new technologies for the exploitation of fashion heritage, digitisation and metadata standards, and copyright issues. The Association is also actively participating in project proposals in EC programs (Horizon Europe, Digital Europe and Erasmus+) in order to continue offering state-of-the-art services to its members.
The Association operates also in the broader landscape of European digital cultural heritage acting as a thematic aggregator in the European Data Space for Cultural Heritage.
