Hohensalzburg Digital

Opening Up Castle History Through Digital Humanities

Hohensalzburg Digital is a Digital Humanities project realized at the University of Salzburg that exemplifies how digital methods can transform the way we access, understand, and connect cultural heritage.

Hohensalzburg Castle, one of Austria’s most iconic landmarks, is the focus of this ambitious project. By digitally processing and interlinking room- and object-related information drawn from historical written sources and building history research, Hohensalzburg Digital lays the groundwork for an Austrian Local Time Machine project dedicated to the castle. Through innovative digital interfaces, the project makes centuries of architectural, social, and material history accessible to both the scientific community and an international public.

Hohensalzburg Digital is a compelling example of how Digital Humanities can enrich historical research, support interdisciplinary collaboration, and make complex cultural heritage knowledge accessible far beyond traditional academic boundaries. You can read the full article via the link below.
