On January 4, 2013, the Documentation Center of Cambodian (DC-Cam) in collaboration with the National Museum of Cambodia and the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts (MCFA) organized a workshop at the National Museum of Cambodia on the topic "Museum Network Connection and Preparing for the 100th Anniversary of the National Museum." The workshop was the introductory meeting between DC-Cam and members from all 24 provincial museums throughout Cambodia.

Following the workshop and MOU between DC-Cam and the MCFA on the development of twenty-four provincial museums, DC-Cam and the National Museum of Cambodia conducted its first preliminary research trip to the museums in Battambang and Banteay Meanchey province from July 8 to 14, 2013. The main objective of this trip is to prepare and produce an exhibition at the respective museums on Khmer Rouge history.

DC-Cam established a formal collaboration with the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts (MCFA) in 1996. Subsequently, DC-Cam was granted permission from the MCFA to establish a project to provide educational elements and visual-audio activities to Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum through a history classroom, photo exhibitions, and film screenings. Extending from the project at Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, DC-Cam also received permission to work with involved MCFA experts and staff members to develop twenty-four provincial museums nationwide and to establish an archaeology museum. Finally, in July 2012, the Royal Government of Cambodia permitted DC-Cam to collaborate with the National Museum of Cambodia to undertake programs to organize events for the hundredth-year inauguration of the Museum.

Based on this collaboration, the MCFA and DC-Cam have engaged in discussions to develop concrete programs to contribute to the preservation and promotion of culture and fine arts in Cambodia. The MCFA is tasked with responsibilities to create and nurture programs that contribute to these purposes. DC-Cam will work closely with the representatives of involved departments and museums to implement these projects.
