Scenarios about 'cultural preservation'

Cultural preservation refers to the efforts to safeguard, document, and maintain aspects of culture including traditions, languages, artifacts, and practices that might otherwise be lost to time or assimilation. Throughout history, these preservation efforts have been critical during periods of colonization, rapid technological change, or political upheaval when indigenous and minority cultures faced existential threats. In alternate history scenarios, cultural preservation often becomes a pivotal theme when exploring how different historical outcomes might have affected the survival or dominance of specific cultural identities.
