The physical remains of Europe’s rich heritage are all around us.  From the historic houses we live and work in, the places we worship, places we visit to explore tombs, earthworks, architectural ruins or monuments to industries past, the museums we visit, the shape of our landscape and the ground beneath our feet.  Digital technologies are widely used to capture the heritage for conservation and research, for analysis, to support learning and tourism, and for enjoyment.

  • Approaches to publishing 3D models online for users on Europeana
