What is a local studies center.
An institution dedicated to the study of local studies (including local history) is coined as a “local studies center.” It is important to trace back the history and development of such concept in order to understand how it was conceived and how it operates. It can be noted that various terminologies were identified but are referring to the same concept of local studies center.
In an article in 1992, Rimmer outlined the concept of “local studies centre” vis-a-vis a record center. He has noted that a “local studies centre,” based on its operations, is an agency that combines a records office, a local studies library and sometimes a museum (see Figure 1). Attributing the concept of “local studies centre” to “local studies,” he provided some definitions of the concept of the latter. Local studies can be: 1) a sub-discipline of librarianship, 2) a type of history project relating to a locality, and 3) a “local study” per se (Rimmer, 1992). He further noted that the terminology “local studies centre,” is vague. Different terms have been used for the said combined units that can be synonymous to the “local studies centre.” These include: “local interest centre,” “records and research centre,” “local history resource centre” and “heritage centre.” This suggests that there is no established vocabulary on the idea of that combined agency.

This paper is an exploratory study of the specialized information centers, referred to as local studies centers, in three regions of the Philippines, namely, Central Luzon, CALABARZON and MIMAROPA. It aims to identify and describe the nature, practices and status of these centers and to explore their innovative and transformative role in the fields of history, culture and heritage studies in the Philippines. It examines the impact of their programs, projects, services, and activities on the study, development and promotion of these three fields. Some of the outstanding features of local studies centers in the Philippines that were identified include: 1) they collect materials pertaining to ethnic groups, and make the materials available and accessible to potential users, mostly in one center; 2) their holdings include library materials, archives and museum artefacts; 3) they conduct research and publish books, relating to history, culture and heritage of the localities they serve and the Philippines. This paper may provide insights for the management (or future establishment) of local studies centers not just in the Philippines, but also in other countries. This paper received the IFLA LIS Student Paper Award 2012.
Special Library Administration, Standardization and Technological Integration
Martin Julius V Perez
Local studies centers are specialized information centers combining a library, an archives and a museum in terms of the range of the collections, and serving one purpose of preservation of knowledge about a certain locality defined in all facets. In the Philippines, these local studies centers were established as early as 1975 and from there, different local studies centers were established. This chapter aims to present an introductory text to the local studies centers in the Philippines. It describes and identifies what a local studies center is based on the structure and characteristics of existing local studies centers in the Philippines, specifically: organization and administration; collection; and services and programs. Further, this chapter intends to present select established local studies centers in the Philippines.
Community-based approach to museum development in Asia and the Pacific for culture and sustainable development
Ana P . Labrador
This is one among ten articles from community-based museums in the Asia Pacific region outlines different approaches made to enhance the role of museums in the service of community development. Their successes and the challenges that are ever present are described in these examples, in addition to the activities of the community-based museums that provide further insight into their development and various management styles that have been applied since their inception. In the Philippines case, the challenges of getting an academic program off the ground, using the framework of community museum development were difficult but not insurmountable. Labrador cites several museums in communities that helped in creating a new concept for museum practice. Any museum studies program would only be relevant using a consultative process from the ground up.
The Journal of History
Erlinda Alburo
Raising awareness of local heritage for its preservation is part of the program of the local governance of Cebu. The town history project of the province has forced local historians to review the natural, tangible and intangible heritage items of their place that they felt should be included in the histories. At the same time, these same heritage icons have been reinvented in response to the tourism thrust of the province. This paper wants mainly to review the representations of the three forms of heritage in the local histories, showing how the original reports in the 1953 Historical Data Papers have been used. A secondary aim is to see how recent developments have influenced such representations.
The SAA Archaeological Record
Stephen Acabado
September 2020 • The SAA Archaeological Record 33 n the Philippines, rapid urbanization has made archaeology a difficult process; many potential excavation sites have been covered with concrete pavements or other aspects of the modern built environment, and even when sites are visible, locals are understandably skeptical of researchers infringing on these spaces. 1 Utilizing indigenous epistemologies within these local ethnic communities would foster positive research and support the maintenance of tradition and heritage. By collaborating with community stakeholders and developing models of support, archaeology can both uncover and help sustain important places of heritage. In this article, we provide case studies from different areas of the Philippines: Rizal, Kalinga, and Camarines Sur, Bicol (Figure 1). Archaeology work in Kalinga Province was revitalized due to important finds pertaining to Philippine hominin ancestry (Ingicco et al. 2018). These recent developments were critical for bringing in new resources to the community so that additional future research could be accessible to and conducted by local stakeholders. Meanwhile in Bicol, recent excavations at colonial Catholic churches facilitated a new partnership between researchers and the Catholic Church. This is reflective of the strongly religious nature of the region, which was subject to a strong Spanish presence in the sixteenth century. The case studies are each reflective of the dynamic histories that have shaped each region, and the many individuals who have risen to the challenge of sustaining their heritage.

The paper reviews the cooperation agreement in cultural affairs between Cebu Normal University (CNU) and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA). In the summers of 2011 and 2012, CNU's College of Teacher Education, as authorized by the CNU Board of Regents, implemented the NCCA-designed two-summer 24-unit post-baccalaureate program which offered foundation and major courses to enhance the participants' understanding of the basic theories, processes and applications of arts, culture, and heritage in the culture-based teaching of the basic education curriculum. It was evident that through this unique program, CNU contributed to ensuring the widest dissemination of artistic and cultural products of the Philippines. The spatial relationship between CNU and NCCA in the governance structure of cultural affairs in the Philippines was a legitimate means of advancing, preserving and developing the culture and the arts of the country through the training of Filipino educators that is responsive to the multicultural needs of the Filipinos to improve their quality of life.

This research analyzes the history, statutes, and opportunities of the Cebu Archdiocesan Commission for Cultural Heritage of the Church (CACCHC) to increase its efficiency. As the representative of the Archbishop of Cebu, the Commission carries the responsibility for the quality and quantity of architectural conservation activities of the Archdiocese which are still dominated by amateurish approaches. The Archdiocese is seriously interested in heritage conservation but ignorance and lack of resources create obstacles. This study's main objective is to analyze the reasons of inefficiency and to offer an updated operational model. The results and findings of the study may contribute to the making of an efficient Commission that promotes knowledge on the history of architecture in Cebu and understanding the Filipino cultural identity through a better state of sacred heritage. The study's scope includes objective and subjective factors of the Commission's efficiency and the ...
International Summer Academy Cottbus; Understanding Heritage (ISAC)
What exactly constitutes and how do we define "Filipino identity"? Given the Philippines' rich history -- its precolonial/colonial past up to its current issues -- the question of identity has become the subject of ongoing discussion and debate. This issue is naturally tied up to questions on Philippine Heritage -- what forms our heritage and what is there to protect and conserve? Without a proper understanding of our identity and heritage and the proper analysis and transmission of data related to these concepts, we fail to maximize knowledge that may contribute to the country's economic growth and unite us as a nation. Tuklas Society (Discover) seeks to address this problematique. Tuklas is a group of young enthusiasts aiming for heritage literacy for Filipino children and communities. Using public archaeology to engage people and promote stewardship of cultural resources, we move from an activity-based perspective towards an alternative education approach. This research will discuss the legal aspect of heritage valuation and how it is reflected in the Philippine education system. It will study the limitations of the existing organisation and demonstrate how a combination of design and progressive educational approaches enables an effective and holistic experience in studying Philippine heritage for the proper utilisation of both tangible and intangible resources.

Local studies in the Philippines Local studies in the Philippines play a significant role in the study and understanding of the Filipino's identity and past. Foronda (1972) noted that interest in research and writing of local history increased after World War II and this apparently was due to the resurgence of nationalism among Filipinos.
