Desig­ning digital cultural heri­tage. A design-scien­tific view on digital cultural history (working title)

Digital objects such as the writing program Micro­soft Word, the plat­form Insta­gram and the web browser Firefox are part of the ever­yday envi­ron­ment of many people. They evoke, struc­ture and repro­duce actions, world access and socia­lity. They shape culture and ther­e­fore have poten­tial cultural and histo­rical value. The aim is to syste­ma­ti­cally open up such objects by means of design perspec­tives for cultural histo­rical reapp­raisal. Value stan­dards and evalua­tion stra­te­gies will be discussed, on the basis of which memory insti­tu­tions can decide which digital objects they collect, preserve and process.
