To add, heritage digitization provides a powerful alternative for preservatio n, especially in South and South East Asia where artifacts and sites are co ntinuously threatened and destroyed by natural disasters and development ob jectives.\n\nBut who gets to make decisions on what heritage should be pres erved? And who decides what is heritage? What happens to heritage that cann ot be digitized? Finally, what about heritage that is meant to be forgotten ? Do communities have the right to choose whether they remember or forget?\ nThe significance of such questions can hardly be overestimated. At a time when many researchers are receiving extensive funding to digitize historica l information, this panel brings into conversation diverse perspectives fro m experts and practitioners working in the space. Prior to the discussion, we will also screen a documentary on heritage digitization produced by Mari na Kaneti and Dewi Kumoratih https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft9TdcX4w-w&am p;ab_channel=MarinaKaneti URL:https://euroseas2024.org/panels/digitizing-asia-s-heritage DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20240723T163000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20240723T180000 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
