Summary/Abstract: Cultural heritage preserves the historical memory and contributes to the creation of national and community identities. It is perceived as a symbol of the progress of human development and the material substrate whose conservation and rational management accumulates economic benefits. Preserving national heritage inthe current context of Globalization is an important part of the cultural policy of any European country. The global trend has seen a shift from particular protection exercised within the territorial sovereignty of the state to the adoption of the principle of sustainable development through multilateral cooperation. In this context, digitization has turned into an important tool for achieving the priorities of national and international policies, implemented through a number of regulatory documents and supporting financial instruments.
