This essay is to be analytical as well as argumentative. The following module description and aims helps you further understand the nature of the essay and subject and how it should look like:

This module introduces students to the theoretical and practical principles of representing cultural heritage in a digital context, primarily online. The content focuses on cultural heritage and its remediation: what culture is, how is it presented and represented, how has this been done historically and today, and what role the digital plays in this. The module introduces relevant principles such as remediation and material culture before turning to the role of digital heritage in galleries, museums, libraries and archives, including not only the needs of these institutions but also political aspects such as access and ‘democratisation’, repatriation, and culturally sensitive material. Throughout this will be a constant questioning of the relationship between the object and its digital surrogate. These principles will then be applied to specific institutions in London: libraries and archives, galleries, museums, and auction houses. These will be examined for current issues of digitisation and the ways in which they represent their material objects in digital form, as well as a brief historical overview of how issues of presentation and representation have been addressed in a ‘pre-digital’ age.

Module Aims

• To gain an introduction to the theoretical and practical principles of representing cultural heritage in a digital context, equipping students for further studies which could in turn lead to careers in cultural heritage institutions.
• To give an understanding of cultural heritage, what it is and the institutions that preserve and present it, and particularly the role that the digital plays in this.
• To gain an introduction to relevant principles such as remediation and material culture, before turning to the role of digital heritage in galleries, museums, libraries and archives, including not only the needs of these institutions but also political aspects such as access and ‘democratisation’, public vs private repositories, repatriation, and culturally sensitive material.

It should be written in Harvard Style. All attached sources should be used plus additional sources of the writer’s choice. I have also attached samples of previous student work to a similar question.

The sources attached focus on the following points that are so important in answering the question.

In this lecture we will bring together questions of ownership and entitlement with the problem of material ‘vs’ immaterial culture. When a cultural heritage artefact is not material in form, how do we go about preserving it? What happens when something that used to be material is lost or destroyed – does this ease or exacerbate problems of ‘whose’ cultural artefact it is? We will look at the case study of Palmyra and its digital afterlives to ask what it means to assert that ‘Our heritage is universal’.
