Description

The Tonis Festival in Santa Eugènia de Berga (Osona) is celebrated on the last Sunday of January. It is a festival declared a Traditional Festival of National Interest by the Generalitat de Catalunya.

The harvest and threshing festival is also celebrated during the month of July. Both festivals are related to traditional ways of life, of which they are a living, symbolic and identity-based testimony of the community and act as the backbone and cohesive axis of the group.

As a result of this long tradition, the municipality has recovered, collected and preserved a set of movable property related to these festivals that it wants to highlight.

Main objective

Inventory and documentation of the collection or part of it of movable property related to the Festa dels Tonis of Santa Eugènia de Berga.

Secondary objective

Selection of pieces for a possible permanent exhibition in the medium term.

Identification of possible gaps or non-representative needs in a future exhibition discourse in order to invest efforts in possible future acquisitions.?

Selection criteria

Prioritize carts and carriages.

Select serial elements and choose the most representative or those in the best conditions of conservation.

Select those elements that complete a suitable museographic discourse for the exhibition.

Methodology

Identify each element with a unique and non-transferable number. Correlative from 0001. To this number, if requested by the City Council, an identifying abbreviation (eg SEB_0001) can be added. SEB for Santa Eugènia de Berga. Link a cardboard label to the element with the corresponding written number. Photograph each element with a metric reference and name the file with the same assigned number. Measure the width, length and maximum height of each element. Document the characteristics of the element in a sheet, in Excel format, used by the General Directorate of Popular Culture and Associations to make the Inventory of the Ethnological and Intangible Heritage of Catalonia. The first part of the work must be carried out on site, where the collection is located. A second part of the work will be in the office to complete the other fields of the sheets. During the documentation and inventory tasks, we will work together with the community that hosts the festival, the Associació dels Tonis de Santa Eugènia de Berga.
