Heritage and Digital Humanities

The symposium, Heritage and digital humanities, organized by the Labex ArtsH2H (Paris 8-Paris Ouest University) together with the French national archives and the Bibliothèque nationale de France on the occasion of the inauguration of the university's master's degree for "Cultural mediation, heritage and digital technologies" was the first occasion to look for potential links between an emerging discipline in quest of its identity, digital humanities, and concepts of heritage which have undergone renewal and been democratized through technical, social and political changes.

This book brings together contributions from professionals at heritage institutions, as well as from academics.

Bernadette Dufrene is Professor at Paris University 8.
