Preservation of Important Cultural Heritage Manuscripts Using Digital Technologies

Tinatin Mshvidobadze

 

ABSTRACT: 

Since the late 1990s the potential of the digital world for generating new ways of engaging with heritage, has been a key focus of academic work and cultural practice.  For the long-term preservation and curation of material heritage, digital technology has the potential to offer new insights into our understanding of the past. This paper shows a possible way for an enduring saving of extraordinary writings with the help of the project “The digital library of St. Paul”.
