Walk into the past. The potential of using archives in cultural tourism based on the Śladami Starej Wisły (In the footsteps of the Old Vistula) walking route in a mobile app

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the opportunities connected with using archival materials in cultural tourism together with modern technologies, especially mobile apps. The authors describe the process of creating the In the footsteps of the Old Vistula interactive walking route in Krakow, which is available in the Loxper mobile app. The route, based on archival materials, such as maps, photos and documents, presents historical places related to the Old Vistula River, including objects that no longer exist. The text highlights the potential of using archival materials together with modern technological solutions, such as mobile apps based on geolocation, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). This use of archival materials allows users to visualize non-existent objects and depict the past in an attractive and engaging way, thereby enriching the tourist experience. The authors emphasise the important role of the resources of state archives in the development of cultural tourism, as well as the potential for cooperation between archivists and software engineers in order to create innovative educational tools.
