Theoretical and practical perspectives from a range of disciplines
on the challenges of using digital media in interpretation and
representation of cultural heritage. In Theorizing Digital Cultural
Heritage, experts offer a critical and theoretical appraisal of the
uses of digital media by cultural heritage institutions. Previous
discussions of cultural heritage and digital technology have left
the subject largely unmapped in terms of critical theory; the
essays in this volume offer this long-missing perspective on the
challenges of using digital media in the research, preservation,
management, interpretation, and representation of cultural
heritage. The contributors-scholars and practitioners from a range
of relevant disciplines-ground theory in practice, considering how
digital technology might be used to transform institutional
cultures, methods, and relationships with audiences. The
contributors examine the relationship between material and digital
objects in collections of art and indigenous artifacts; the
implications of digital technology for knowledge creation,
documentation, and the concept of authority; and the possibilities
for "virtual cultural heritage"-the preservation and interpretation
of cultural and natural heritage through real-time, immersive, and
interactive techniques. The essays in Theorizing Digital Cultural
Heritage will serve as a resource for professionals, academics, and
students in all fields of cultural heritage, including museums,
libraries, galleries, archives, and archaeology, as well as those
in education and information technology. The range of issues
considered and the diverse disciplines and viewpoints represented
point to new directions for an emerging field. Contributors Nadia
