Abstract

This chapter reviews the digital heritage landscape by re‐enforcing the view of digital heritage as being embedded within a broad sociocultural context, firmly tied to the notion of practice and theory. It provides a framework to help museum practitioners, students, and scholars understand the concept of digital heritage and its impact on the museum environment. An awareness of the inherent benefits and opportunities afforded through the intersections of “digital” and “heritage” will provide a solid foundation to the critical adoption, implementation, and evaluation of the multitude of digital media currently available for application in memory institutions.n>
