Abstract
This article presents insights from digital heritage and digital storytelling scholarship and practice to address the question, “How can heritage materials be presented online or through other digital formats in a useful and engaging way?” Specifically, the article focuses on opening up a dialogue between archivists/museum curators, heritage professionals and scholars, and digital media specialists in the following key areas: the affordances and constraints in developing digital storytelling projects within and across platforms, digital storytelling tips for heritage experts, knowledge of the digital media production process as an aid in the development of digital storytelling projects for archives/museums, and digital storytelling practices, tools, and tips in the areas of digital video, Internet-based storytelling, and mobile augmented-reality storytelling. The article provides examples from the author's own work and teaching along with examples of other projects—both those directed by the author and those developed by others—that illustrate these ideas at work.
