Digital Humanities: A Tool for Preserving Indian Culture
Author : Deumy John and Dr. K Praveena
Abstract :
Digital Humanities (DH) is a field that combines technology, culture and history. It focuses on preserving, analysing and sharing cultural heritage using digital tools. Rapid progress in Information and communication technology has led to new ways of protecting historical artefacts, literary works and cultural stories. Techniques such as digitisation, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big data analysis and virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR) have changed how we conduct research, teach and engage with the public in the humanities. Libraries and information science professionals are key in implementing and managing these technologies. This article looks at both the theoretical and practical sides of digital humanities. It discusses ethical and access issues, presents case studies and suggests future topics for exploration and implementation. The goal is to show how technology can connect heritage preservation with today’s digital society.
