Digitising Heritage

Transoceanic Connections between Australia and Europe

Cultural Heritage: Materiality—Text—Edition (KEMTE)

‘Digitising Heritage’ presents new interdisciplinary studies about the diverse manifestations of heritage in digital form, in museums, academic institutions, politics, and history. Individual contributions span across literary studies, forensics, physics, sound studies, law, postcolonial studies, archaeology, migration and museum studies. How can researchers and practitioners make effective use of digital technologies to foster a sustainable heritage engagement? To what extend can critical heritage concepts find expression in the digital age? The volume answers these questions in a multimedia format that combines audio, video, 3D graphics and technologies.

Carsten Wergin is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Ruprecht-Karls-University Heidelberg. His work is located at the intersections of heritage, culture and ecology. He is the author of Tourism, Indigeneity, and the Importance of Place: Fighting for Heritage at Australia’s Last Frontier (Lexington, 2023).

Stefanie Affeldt is an independent scholar, researching and publishing on the history of racism and whiteness in Australia.
