About Us
Welcome to the Digital Heritage Centre.
The Digital Heritage Centre focuses on the adoption, use and impact of transformative technologies on how we approach the study of culture through the interpretation, representation and criticism of meanings and assumptions that constitute our cultural heritage. Digital heritage research can be posited within the broader scope of the field of Digital Humanities, and within the rapidly expanding community pushing boundaries and conducting interdisciplinary research that spans the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, and the Sciences and Engineering. Here, we list the topics that are of direct relevance to the research interests of our scholars. We are open for collaborators and potential PhD candidates to discuss ideas and scope future research directions.
