This article focuses on the dialogue between IntangibleCultural Heritage (ICH) and technology, specificallywithin the domain of traditional craftsmanship. We beginby establishing the current methods of safeguardingtraditional crafts, as described in previous issues of thisjournal, and the benefits and limitations of these. This isfollowed by an introduction to the concept of digitisationand the Tripartite Digitisation Model (TDM) for capturing,representing and disseminating ICH through digitalmeans. Through a case study of digitising a traditionaljoinery technique, we explore different methods forcapturing data about ICH and reflect on their use fordigitisation. The ICH is represented through 3D models,video clips and audio voice-over, and disseminated in aninteractive VR simulation. After evaluating the simulationwith the people whose ICH we were trying to safeguard,we discuss the benefits and limitations of moving the ICHfrom its original context into a digital one.
