At the NWU Centre for Digital Humanities, cultural heritage practices are viewed as a constantly evolving treasure. Therefore, we support projects that focus on exploring digital heritage as living knowledge that shapes our present and future. Our focus on ethical digital heritage ensures that the stories, practices, and traditions of communities are preserved with respect, care, and accountability. We work closely with local partners to document and curate both tangible and intangible heritage, thereby ensuring that these resources are findable and accessible while taking our responsibility to ensure collective benefit seriously. By combining digital tools with community-centred approaches, we aim to empower the communities we serve to engage in digital heritage practices while maintaining ownership of their data.
