This handbook is targeted to cultural heritage professionals (curators, archaeologists, art historians, archivists, librarians, designers and web designers,  information scientists, communication managers, etc.) working in the valorisation and dissemination of knowledge also through exhibitions and performances made available online.

It intends to provide a useful conceptual tool for the digital transition process regarding cultural heritage, which must be tackled with the right infrastructure
and adequate conceptual, theoretical, organizational, and management tools, along with an awareness of the deep changes in prospects arising out of the chance to separate the governance of culture preservation from the strategies to promote cultural heritage, which strategies are often aimed at local tourism marketing and the exploration of new forms of cultural tourism.

Best practice for applying research pilots and use case studies
to digital cultural heritage
