Abstract (English): The project on visual anthropology and digital tools in Rumiñahui focuses on photography as a cultural document and as a means to understand the historical, social and urban changes of the canton. From photographic archives donated by the Páez family to the Rumiñahui Museum, images are recognized that show traditions, celebrations and transformations of the city, strengthening the collective memory and identity of the community. The study uses both visual interpretation and historical contextualization, and also includes a virtual tour that opens this visual archive to more people and promotes its social importance and use. Thus, the work goes beyond academic interest and becomes a support for preserving and sharing culture, showing the value of photography as a source of learning and memory. In addition, the project provides theoretical and practical bases for future research on photographic archives in Latin America, highlighting how digitalization and new technologies help to preserve identity and transmit people's memory.

Abstract (Spanish): El proyecto sobre antropología visual y herramientas digitales en Rumiñahui se enfoca en la fotografía como documento cultural y como medio para entender los cambios históricos, sociales y urbanos del cantón. A partir de archivos fotográficos donados por la familia Páez al Museo de Rumiñahui, se reconocen imágenes que muestran tradiciones, celebraciones y transformaciones de la ciudad, fortaleciendo la memoria colectiva y la identidad de la comunidad. El estudio usa tanto la interpretación visual como la contextualización histórica, e incluye también un recorrido virtual que abre este archivo visual a más personas y fomenta su importancia y uso social. Así, el trabajo va más allá del interés académico y se convierte en un apoyo para conservar y compartir la cultura, mostrando el valor de la fotografía como fuente de aprendizaje y memoria. Además, el proyecto aporta bases teóricas y prácticas para futuras investigaciones sobre archivos fotográficos en Latinoamérica, destacando cómo la digitalización y las nuevas tecnologías ayudan a cuidar la identidad y transmitir la memoria de la gente.

Abstract (Portuguese): O projeto sobre antropologia visual e ferramentas digitais em Rumiñahui centra-se na fotografia como documento cultural e como meio de compreender as transformações históricas, sociais e urbanas do cantão. Utilizando o acervo fotográfico doado pela família Páez ao Museu de Rumiñahui, identificam-se imagens que evidenciam as tradições, celebrações e transformações da cidade, fortalecendo a memória coletiva e a identidade comunitária. O estudo emprega tanto a interpretação visual quanto a contextualização histórica, e inclui ainda uma visita virtual que abre este acervo visual a um público mais amplo e promove a sua importância e utilização social. Assim, o trabalho transcende o interesse académico e torna-se uma ferramenta para a preservação e partilha da cultura, demonstrando o valor da fotografia como fonte de aprendizagem e memória. Além disso, o projeto fornece fundamentos teóricos e práticos para futuras pesquisas sobre acervos fotográficos na América Latina, destacando como a digitalização e as novas tecnologias contribuem para a salvaguarda da identidade e a transmissão das memórias das pessoas.
