Digital heritage seminar 2018
Digital interactions in cultural materials conservation

The video for this seminar is not currently available

Part of the Digital Heritage Seminars series presented on 17 October 2018

Cultural materials conservation develops capacity and knowledge to conserve continuing cultural records. Drawing on a number of case studies, this seminar will examine how the role of materials conservation changes and expands when paired with digital technologies. Examples include working on the visualisation of Wayang Kulit Puppets; the acoustic repair of musical instruments; the digitisation of Church heritage in the Philippines; and using citizen science platforms in the City of Port Phillip. Through such interactions and understanding, conservators aim to enable individuals and communities to create and access their heritage for the present and into future.
