Bali, Borneo and the Blockchain: Explorations in the Preservation of Cultural Heritage
Pages 58 - 73
Abstract
This paper explores the use of blockchain technology for cultural heritage preservation. Blockchain is a disruptive technology for entire business sectors. Its application to cultural heritage is still in its early stages. But it offers three intriguing benefits. First, it creates a permanent and immutable record of provenance for both tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Second, it will open up new ways for communities to share their heritage globally. And third, it can generate new revenue streams that can directly benefit communities and artisans in the World Heritage. As the storage capacity of the blockchain increases, new opportunities will emerge for digital media in heritage conservation.
