Welcome
Cultural Heritage in the Digital Age (DigiHeri) promotes new innovative approaches in combining cultural heritage research with cutting-edge study on digitality, language-based AI and natural language processing. Our aim is to reconsider the challenge posed by the digitisation of cultural heritage as well as the new forms of digital heritage that are continuously emerging. New insights and AI-based solutions are critical for their exploration and education. How to more effectively draw on those large-scale, digitised textual and visual resources that have been produced by memory organisations since the 1990s? How to identify born-digital phenomena as cultural heritage?
Cultural Heritage in the Digital Age is funded by the Research Council of Finland (Profi8) and links to the University of Turku’s multidisciplinary theme and area of strength “Cultural memory and social change”.
