Following the lead of a similar innovative project undertaken by the National Museum of Benin, the goal of the project is to identify objects associated with the years of the Communist regime in situ: to register their location, to assess the risks they face in terms of preservation, to document them, and when necessary, to collect and conserve them. A team of young researchers would begin to identify locate them, and interview their owners. The interviews and the digitised photographic records would be collected on a website. The total project would become a collective memory of the Czech experience of Communism - a virtual 'distributed' archive of oral history, eventually backed by a collection of real objects.
