About Us

Digital Heritage Center

Digital Heritage Center (DHC) is a brain child of Dr. Abdul Samad (Director Archaeology & Museums, KP, Pakistan, a digital documentation, reconstruction, research and education platform dedicated to documenting, monitoring, and preserving our archaeological, cultural and natural heritage.


We use digital visualization, 3D virtualization, geospatial informatics, and open access solutions to provide digital data and 3D models to digital reconstruction and physical execution. We also aid in heritage management, education, public access (through virtual reality models), scientific research, and to enhance the digital humanities.



Mission

We believe that many nations, local and regional museums, and universities have specific and spectacular places, monuments, and museum collections that are critical to the global scientific agenda. While these are often recognized for their heritage value, they are underutilized in science and research because of distance or because the scientific community does not know they exist.

We use virtualization technology to digitize entire collections, entire museums, and entire archaeological and paleontological landscapes. We make virtual repositories available to any student, any child, any scientist or any enthusiast anywhere in the world at any time. We create online analytical tools to democratize education and research through global analyses and exploration. Our virtual repository approach allows scientific analyses of places, monuments, and collections on a global scale, and provides a mean to highlight the importance of those collections to their communities.
