CoHERE Work Package 1 Museum Visitor Survey Interviews

The CoHERE project seeks to identify, understand and valorise European heritages, engaging with their socio-political and cultural significance and their potential for developing communitarian identities. CoHERE addresses an intensifying EU Crisis through a study of relations between identities and representations and performances of history. 

The data was produced as part of CoHERE Work Package 1 - Productions and omissions of European heritage. This provides a critical foundation for CoHERE as a whole, interrogating different meanings of heritage, historical constructions and representations of Europe, formative histories for European identities that are neglected or hidden because of political circumstances, and non-official heritage.

The interviews were carried out at selected museums, heritage sites and heritage events across Europe. The interview schedule posed questions about heritage consumption, identity, Europe and their experience of the site/event where the interview took place. Interviews have been transcribed and de-identified.
