Abstract
This paper describes the process of the “Yunnu（Yoron）Old Photographic Survey of Island Nature and Livehood”, which has been conducted since 2020 in Yoron Island, Japan, to record the wisdom and transitions in the livelihood of the people who have lived with nature. The process analysis will examine the possibilities and challenges of preserving and inheriting regional history and culture as a participatory survey. This paper examines a new model for the inheritance of community history and culture created by recording the narratives and archiving the old photographs through collecting, exhibiting, data archiving, and web publishing, as well as research on historical materials. As a result, we concluded that this documentation of the project process itself will hopefully contribute to the future of the community archives.
