This volume of the Annual Review of Cultural Heritage Informatics (ARCHI)is the polestar publication for cultural heritage scholars, professionals, and students. Featuring original works selected by the distinguished editorial board of international scholars, ARCHI presents a broad spectrum of the cultural heritage informatics field. New to this edition is a Perspectives chapter in which scholars, practitioners, and leaders delve into a current issue facing the field, voicing their thoughts based on research and personal experience. One writer takes a look at how the transactions and reflections of collections work influences the workplace, community, and nation. Another Perspectives piece takes an in-depth look at the work and how theoretical and professional obstacles hinder convergence. The debate over technology and big data is addressed as two articles offer opposing viewpoints on the benefits and disadvantages. With a focus on the way our cultural heritage is accessed, stored, and preserved, this volume looks forward to the future and the insight brought forth through technological innovation and research.
