Propose a collaboration.
Let’s build new paths together.
ALBA was born as an archive, but it grows through the meeting of different skills, ideas and realities. We collaborate with institutions, companies, professionals, associations and cultural projects to develop new forms of preservation, research, documentation, enhancement and accessibility for gaming and collecting heritage.
Skills come together.
Projects take shape.
AREAS OF COLLABORATION
Where we can meet.
We do not start from a category of partner, but from what we can imagine, study and build together.
Creating new knowledge.
Universities, researchers, professionals and institutions. Studies, cataloguing, analysis, documentation methodologies and new research tools.
Exploring new tools.
Companies, laboratories and professionals. Technologies applied to preservation, study, documentation and access to heritage.
Telling and documenting.
Media, publishers, authors and creative organizations. Editorial projects, in-depth content, visual documentation and outreach.
Creating real connections.
Institutions, associations, companies and cultural spaces. Initiatives that connect the archive, audiences and local communities.
Studying material culture.
Collectors, manufacturers, grading companies, auction houses and industry professionals. Projects dedicated to documenting, studying and enhancing the material culture of collecting.
A STARTING POINT
A collaboration can begin with a question.
Not every collaboration needs to begin with a fully defined project. Sometimes the first step is recognizing something worth studying, documenting or building together.
A collection to study.A technology to explore.Heritage to document.Research to develop.An experience to build.A problem still waiting for a solution.
If there is a point of connection with ALBA’s mission, we can explore it together.
POSSIBILITIES
What can emerge.
Every collaboration can take a different form. The outcome grows from the meeting of goals, expertise and tools.
Studies, experimentation and new methods of analysis and documentation.
Cataloguing, digitization and the creation of documentary collections.
Application of ALBA and Omnis Magica methodologies to specific objects, collections or challenges.
Editorial projects, visual documentation and outreach activities.

AN ECOSYSTEM OF EXPERTISE
ALBA does not need to do everything.
It needs to create connections.
La tutela del patrimonio contemporaneo richiede competenze diverse. Conservazione, ricerca, tecnologia, fotografia, design, comunicazione, produzione, catalogazione e conoscenza specialistica possono incontrarsi all'interno di uno stesso progetto.
Collaboration means bringing different skills together in service of a shared memory.
