CraftHeritageArchive was founded in 2020 by a group of passionate artisans, historians, and educators who recognized the urgent need to preserve traditional craft techniques. Many of these skills, passed down through generations, were at risk of being lost as modern technology and mass production replaced traditional methods.
What started as a small documentation project has grown into a comprehensive platform featuring hundreds of craft techniques from cultures around the world. We collaborate with master artisans, cultural institutions, and educational organizations to ensure accuracy and authenticity in our documentation.
Today, CraftHeritageArchive serves as a gateway for anyone interested in exploring the rich world of traditional crafts. Whether you're a beginner looking to learn a new skill, a researcher studying cultural practices, or an artisan seeking to connect with others, our platform provides the resources and community you need.
