Digitization Project of Museum Collections as a Way of Preserving Memory and Cultural Heritage

This article was developed through descriptive exploratory methodology, on the digitalization to preserve historical costumes in 3D. Without minimizing the work of the conservators who provide physical longevity to artifacts, it considers the difficulties present in the daily life of museums and textile conservation, and the human and virtual interaction practices. Through a bibliographic review on the techniques of capture and reproduction of objects and museum collections, it presents the conections of the technological, museological and conservation areas, and reflects on the possibility of preserving the material and non-material culture, through the identity and symbology present in this type of artifacts, even through their dematerialization into a digital object. This study aims to contribute to the research and reproduction of heritage collections, as well as to collaborate with conservators and increase the possibilities of accessibility and understanding of contents for the public. In this article, it is also proposed that, in the future, a design project will be created, in which the digitization of a historical costume will be developed by two possible methods. It is intended to find a simpler way to digitize clothing and integrate interactive displays through Augmented Reality.
