The theme of the CDH 2017 meeting will be Heritage under Threat.

The Digital Archaeology Research Group and the Centre for Global Heritage and Development at the Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University will jointly host the 2017 annual meeting of the Centre for Digital Heritage (CDH).

Armed conflicts are currently threatening heritage at scales that seemed inconceivable only a few years ago. Tangible heritage such as landscapes, sites, monuments and artefacts and intangible heritage such as knowledge, languages and traditions are likewise affected. Apart from such obvious threats in conflict zones, heritage elsewhere is often threatened by neglect, decay, or a lack of stakeholder involvement, education, or technical and financial means.

Digital technologies provide manifold means for heritage recording, monitoring, analysis and visualisation, as well as for dissemination, education and community involvement. The 2017 annual meeting of the Centre for Digital Heritage will explore these means and their applications to heritage under threat, taking into account that digital data and tools themselves may become part of our (endangered) heritage.

As part of the conference, Dr. Sada Mire (Leiden Unversity) will give a keynote lecture on her new MOOC, Heritage under Threat. A welcome reception and a social dinner will complete the programme.

Programme, registration and payment will be available from 15 March 2017. For further information, visit the meeting website or contact .

Venue: Leiden University, Faculty of Archaeology, Van Steenis building, Einsteinweg 2, 2333 CC Leiden, Netherlands.
