農會檔案與文物之文創設計

Cultural and Creative Design of Farmers' Association Archives and Historical Relics

臺灣農會歷經一世紀的業務興衰、政權易主、人事更迭，絕大多數農會檔案與文物都被丟棄散佚。經過這三年的零星蒐集、積少成多，幸運發現不少具代表性及歷史價值的農會檔案與文物。這些蒙塵多年的農會檔案與文物往往正是先人智慧與常民美學的展現，使它們重現昔日價值，再創今日光彩，方法之一是將農會檔案與文物加值應用。Old is New, Less is More，這兩種美學概念的交叉靈活運用，則是設計開發農會文創商品的理念基礎。

After being gone through one century of the rise and fall of business, regime and personnel changes, the majority of archive and artifact of farmers' associations in Taiwan have been discarded. By sporadic collecting for 3 years, we are lucky to find lots of archive and artifact with historical value representatives of farmers' associations. These archives and artifacts show the wisdom of our ancestors and ordinary people. The way making their glory of the past value being shine again is by value-added.“Old is New, Less is More,'' by using these two concepts flexibly, is the basic concepts of the cultural design of Farmers' Association Archives.
