“…Also, significantly, the story tends to be told from the point of view of external agencies, with power making room for community participation, rather than thinking about how the community itself has energy and forms of local leadership that might be driving care for its heritage. We do have one other useful starting point: in a previous article, Jarusawat et al (2018) analysed community participation in the preservation of Lanna PLMs. The article contrasts the viewpoints of different stakeholders in how they value PLMs.…”

“…Based on the key elements identified in the three villages, we propose a model of the key components for community-driven care of Lanna PLMs (see Figure 4). This centres on the community, in contrast to the model presented in Jarusawat et al (2018), which was more of a model of how external partners try to create and sustain local participation. In the new model, it is recognized that the energy behind sustained care lies in the community itself.…”

“…Nevertheless, local communities -both monks and lay people -remain interested in caring for PLMs, even if they lack expertise in handling ancient documents or the financial support to obtain the tools and equipment needed (Jarusawat, 2017(Jarusawat, , 2019Jarusawat et al, 2018). In this context, this study explores the practices and attitudes towards managing PLMs in three communities in northern Thailand (Ban Hong, Ban Saluang Nai and Pa Tum Don) with a view to developing a model of community involvement in sustainable care for PLMs.…”

Palm-leaf manuscripts are an important part of the heritage of the Lanna culture of northern Thailand. The purpose of this article is to explore the practices and attitudes towards managing palm-leaf manuscripts in three communities in northern Thailand with a view to developing a community-centric understanding of sustainable care for palm-leaf manuscripts. The study was based on interviews, which were analysed thematically. It was found that Buddhist beliefs in earning merit and the cultural value of palm-leaf manuscripts underlie community involvement. Leadership was also important, although models of leadership were different in each case. External organizations such as universities play a key role in cataloguing, preserving and using palm-leaf manuscripts. Digitization, although central to the value to external organizations, does not really promote community access. Reflecting on the drivers and challenges in the three villages, a model of community-driven care for palm-leaf manuscripts is proposed.

“…The widespread decrease in Lanna literacy has led to a devaluation of PLMs. As the Lanna communities have not taken an active part in the preservation of their heritage, external agencies have become essential to PLMs' management and preservation (Jarusawat, Cox, & Bates, 2018), and are now instrumental in helping local communities manage them.…”

“…To date, more than a million PLMs have been found in the region. Most of them are kept in monastery libraries and temple museums (Jarusawat et al, 2018;Weerabahu, 2019). Some others are kept in university libraries or special libraries.…”

Value co‐creation as a research topic has been a critical proposition of interest to a wide range of disciplines. In recent years, the field of cultural heritage has also developed a range of information practices to promote different forms of value co‐creation. While the body of literature has begun to accumulate, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of conceptual foundations and how value co‐creation is implemented in cultural heritage information practices. This paper conducted a hermeneutic literature review to understand and conceptualize the core aspects of value co‐creation in various cultural heritage information works. In particular, this paper provides a research mapping of the genres of co‐creation in cultural heritage information practices, the actors, and the roles played by the stakeholders. Further, this review provides an overview of the dominant value co‐creation models in the cultural heritage field. It distills the drivers of value co‐creation and the core value consequences that arise from a process perspective. Finally, this paper puts forward a thematic, theoretical, and methodological agenda for future work based on these findings. The review contributes to the literature by proposing an integrated conceptual framework that summarizes the core elements of value co‐creation in cultural heritage information practices. The framework also serves as a call for action, providing a general understanding of the conceptual foundation for future research.
