We are pleased that this year\u2019s D-fest also presented several interesting citizen science projects and examples of audience engagement through various campaigns, as well as projects for preserving materials through digitisation and creative initiatives involving the development of virtual exhibitions and an application. D-fest also addressed the current topic of artificial intelligence and the opportunities and challenges it brings to the heritage sector. Ten posters additionally provided insight into new projects and interesting approaches to the digitisation of different types of materials.<\/p>\n

This year, once again, we had the opportunity to meet the true heroes of digitisation projects \u2013 our dedicated, creative and enthusiastic colleagues who overcome numerous obstacles in the digitisation of materials and, through their completed projects, uncover new stories, contribute to broader access to cultural heritage, and strengthen connections with the local community. See you in May 2024.<\/p>\n
