CULTURAL HERITAGE INFORMATICS

Catalog description

(Slashed with LIS 60635 ) Cultural heritage informatics brings a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary approach to supporting the entire lifecycle of cultural heritage information and documentation procedures for the benefit of the preservation, study, and promotion of cultural heritage. The course covers methods of creating descriptions for cultural objects, as well as organizing, delivering, and presenting the cultural heritage (tangible, intangible, and digital) resources in the digital age. The course aims to prepare students for careers focusing on or transcending libraries, archives, museums (LAMs), historical societies, and other cultural institutions by introducing them to the methodologies and technologies commonly used in cultural heritage informatics and can be broadly implemented in LAMs.
