Exploring Digital Cultural Heritage

This is a vital and timely book, which will orient future research on digital cultural heritage. It determines the multifarious manifestations that it can take, in light not only of the history of digitisation and digital technology, but also the evolving landscape of AI research, development, and regulation.
