It is our duty to hand them [historic monuments] on in the full richness of their authenticity (Venice Charter, Preamble) Authenticity in the World Heritage Convention (1972) depends on the degree to which information sources about the value of heritage may be understood as credible or truthful Turners Tintern Abbey, 1794 12. 12 ACCORD,CAA,Paris,24thApril2014 ACCORD Challenges & new approaches to authenticity Authenticity is culturally constructed Authenticity is increasing defined in terms of setting, use, ongoing social value, and intangible dimensions Nara Document: It is not possible to make judgements of value and authenticity on fixed criteria.

Is their authenticity simply a matter of the degree to which as information sources they may be understood as credible or truthful? Or are social relationships with digital objects important to the migration of aura or authenticity? Does community participation in design and production create authenticity and value? 16. 16 ACCORD,CAA,Paris,24thApril2014 ACCORD ACCORD Research Aims To examine the opportunities and implications of digital visualisation technologies for community engagement and research through the co-design and co-production. To embed contemporary social values in the resulting digital records and 3D objects, as well as the associated contextual metadata To explore whether community co-design and co-production increases the significance and authenticity of digital visualisation objects To reflect on the nature of the relationships between community groups, digital heritage professionals and the outputs they have created. 17. 17 ACCORD,CAA,Paris,24thApril2014 ACCORD ACCORD Activities: Co-design and co-production of 3D documentation Photogrammetry, LiDAR, RTI, 3D printing Integration of contextual user generated content and statements of social value with digital and physical outputs Consumer level technology Management of longevity, access and ownership 18. 18 ACCORD,CAA,Paris,24thApril2014 ACCORD Group Location Friends of G.
