Following London Charter (2006)

In the last years we can witness a huge increase in the use of Computer-based Visualizations of Cultural Heritage. Digital technology progress provides opportunities for rather fast creation of products with attractive features, encouraging the growing interest of the general public in cultural heritage. However, at the same time some questions occur – is cultural heritage presented in the best manner, based on scientific research? What principles should be applied and how to choose appropriate technical means and methods? What are the appropriate and ethical goals for the interpretation and presentation of cultural heritage sites? Heritage Presentation is a communication process designed to declare the significance and to enhance understanding of a heritage site and to acquire public support. Internationally accepted London Charter for Computer-based Visualisation of Cultural Heritage (2006) represents an important document for all participants involved in the field of cultural heritage and new technologies. Although conceived more than ten years ago, it seems we need both, more serious and more adequate implementation by those who are dealing with visualization of cultural heritage in an academic, educational, museum or commercial purpose, especially in Croatia, where an expansion of digital presentation of history and cultural heritage occurred. London Charter (2006) brings guidelines and broad principles for the use, in both, research and communication of cultural heritage. London Charter, originally in English, so far, has several translations to different languages. Authors of this presentation have prepared a Croatian translation of the London Charter in order to introduce its aims and principles to the public.
