At the Craft Revival Trust, we believe that access to knowledge through mapping and documentation is the basis of safeguarding the intangible heritage of crafts, textiles, folk and tribal arts and the oral knowledge systems that support them.

Launched in 1999, the web portal www.craftrevival.org, contains a constantly expanding Encyclopedia featuring information on the makers, the techniques, processes and vocabulary of the intangible cultural heritage of South Asia. The encyclopedia also provides a listing of museums and organisations dedicated to the conservation and promotion of this sector, case studies of prior experiments in cultural and socio-economic development, a bibliography, and a glossary of terms, useful links, amongst many other features (see links above and on right). Today, www.craftrevival.org is the largest available archive of its kind both online and otherwise.

The site also hosts a Quarterly Journal dedicated to bringing new thought, information and work in the realm of the intangible heritage to the fore (latest issue is listed before). The content is sourced from a wide, credible and knowledgeable network from across the world and is recognized for its width of topics and authentic texts. As a current and open-source platform, the journal also serves as a forum for advocacy and empowerment and is now widely acknowledged as a platform for change.
