Heritage is everywhere, and an understanding of our past is
increasingly critical to the understanding of our contemporary
cultural context and place in global society. Visual Heritage in
the Digital Age presents the state-of-the-art in the application of
digital technologies to heritage studies, with the chapters
collectively demonstrating the ways in which current developments
are liberating the study, conservation and management of the past.
Digital approaches to heritage have developed significantly over
recent decades in terms of both the quantity and range of
applications. However, rather than merely improving and enriching
the ways in which we understand and engage with the past, this
technology is enabling us to do this in entirely new ways. The
chapters contained within this volume present a broad range of
technologies for capturing data (such as high-definition laser
scanning survey and geophysical survey), modelling (including GIS,
data fusion, agent-based modelling), and engaging with heritage
through novel digital interfaces (mobile technologies and the use
of multi-touch interfaces in public spaces). The case studies
presented include sites, landscapes and buildings from across
Europe, North and Central America, and collections relating to the
ancient civilisations of the Middle East and North Africa. The
chronological span is immense, extending from the end of the last
ice age through to the twentieth century. These case studies reveal
new ways of approaching heritage using digital tools, whether from
the perspective of interrogating historical textual data, or
through the applications of complexity theory and the modelling of
agents and behaviours. Beyond the data itself, Visual Heritage in
the Digital Age also presents fresh ways of thinking about digital
heritage. It explores more theoretical perspectives concerning the
role of digital data and the challenges that are presented in terms
of its management and preservation.
