Digital Conservation of Cultural Heritage
Digital Conservation of Cultural Heritage
Abstract
Digital conservation of cultural heritage is important for safeguarding, research, education, preservation, and virtual exchange of historical artefacts. Future developments will be, for example, an increasing digitalisation of archives to make them accessible for research since their content is sometimes unknown. Various scanning methods make it possible to compare artworks to learn about the materials used and the construction of the artefacts. Techniques like Artificial Reality and Virtual Reality make it possible to annotate in an interactive way. By converting the physical material to a digital format and by making the results available through the Internet, we make our cultural heritage available to anyone, anywhere, whether it be solely for taking pleasure in an esthetical sense but also for study and research purposes. In doing so we can contribute to a world in transition in which sharing, co-creating, and shared responsibility will overcome exclusiveness and loss of identity caused by the inaccessibility of artefacts of our own or our neighbours’ roots.
