Abstract


The culture has been, recently, recognized as a new pillar to achieve sustainability. Culture is built through generations, as an heritage. Autobiographical memories records, such as photographs, are important elements to pass down this heritage. Preserving these records, however, can present a range of challenges. In this work we address the issue of the use of photographs as records of memories (photo-memories), in the context of cultural sustainability. We present a set of challenges related to the theme, identified from a literature review, and, associated to them, we describe research opportunities for different areas of Computing.
