Our 2026 Projects
A glimpse into TLHP's 2026 projects
As we look ahead to 2026, The Living History Project continues to build upon its mission of preserving and sharing Malaysia's diverse cultural heritage. While our full slate of projects is still being finalised, several exciting initiatives are already taking shape.
We are especially committed to telling more stories from Sabah and Sarawak, ensuring East Malaysia's rich cultural tapestry is represented in our digital archive. In parallel, we are exploring a new series on Music & Memories, a thematic collection that delves into how songs, performances, and soundscapes shape collective identity and personal history.
