Abstract

It is discussed, in the scenery of the actual technological environment based on the digital media, the potencials of the so called information and communications technology in the cultural heritage preservation and in the contemporary collective memory developing, and also contributes to a theoretical referencing construction about the theme. First heritage, memory and media is contextualized, establishing relations between them. In a second moment, a discussion about translation forms of cultural goods to virtual environments is realized, establishing possible criterias for approaching projects of this nature that will be applied, at the end of this dissertation, in the analysis of one of these experiences.
