Unless the preservation. of monuments and sites, and the
intangible heritage that is associated with these, is seen as an
important part of any development decision made the world’s
monuments will not be saved by documentation.
What an accelerated documentation and recording program
brings about will be accessible archive of ‘the things we want to
keep’. The existence of an archive may well be justification for
the destruction of the actual monument or site if the archive,
and the processes used to create the archive, are deemed more
important than the objects themselves. This should not be
allowed to happen.
The technology needed to record and document cultural
heritage will in all likelihood be as predicted, fast, cheap,
flexible and accessible. The technology needs however to be
incorporated into an integrated governmental, institutional and
social policy on heritage conservation. The next 20 years will
see whether this can become a reality.
