The Cyprus Food and Nutrition Museum is a non-profit Cultural and Research association, which undertakes initiatives and activities to promote the study, preservation and dissemination of knowledge on the Cypriot gastronomical culture. The aforementioned activities stem from and revolve around an innovative digital cultural collection developed by highly skilled academics and researchers. Since 2008, this group of experts carries through the task of compiling and digitizing information pertaining to the subject of Cypriot gastronomy over the centuries. The recorded information is categorized based on a specific classification schema, and is then incorporated in a digital data depository related to the Cypriot food culture and history, called the Cyprus Food Virtual Museum (http://foodmuseum.cs.ucy.ac.cy/). Within the latter, the end user may find high quality information, such as texts, photos, videos and other multimedia, which relates to Cypriot traditional food and associated everyday practices, recipes, tools, and processing techniques from the prehistoric times up to the present. This depository is the first of its kind in Europe and it is designed to be hosted online, so that it can be freely accessed and (re)used by individuals or specific groups interested in Cypriot gastronomy and culture, such as researchers, academics, food professionals, educators, tourist agents, and even governmental departments
