About the Collection
About UP Lantern Archive
UP Lantern Archive is an unofficial digital archive of UP Diliman Lantern Parade entries. It documents lanterns through photos, videos, and descriptive metadata to help preserve their visual and cultural history. The collection includes not only photos of individual lanterns but also images of the wider UP Diliman Lantern Parade event. Some materials come from official news outlets, while others are sourced from blogs and other public online references.
This site is intended as a browsable and searchable record of parade themes, creators, and years, making it easier for students, alumni, researchers, and the public to revisit notable entries over time.
The archive is built with CollectionBuilder-CSV and organized through structured metadata. It is a community-oriented preservation effort that celebrates the creativity, commentary, and tradition represented by the UP Lantern Parade.

This digital collection is built with CollectionBuilder, an open source framework for creating digital collection and exhibit websites that is developed by faculty librarians at the University of Idaho Library following the Lib-Static methodology.
Using the CollectionBuilder-CSV template and the static website generator Jekyll, this project creates an engaging interface to explore driven by metadata.
