Team 2025 Siena
In the face of an increasingly hostile world, a global landscape where conflict, natural disasters, and rapid environmental changes are destroying our shared heritage, we provide 3D digital services to document the world’s cultural and natural history.

Global Digital Heritage (GDH) is a not-for-profit, private research and education organization dedicated to documenting, monitoring, and preserving our global cultural and natural heritage. We use digital visualization, 3D virtualization, geospatial informatics, and open access solutions to provide digital data and 3D models to governments, regional institutions, museums, local scholars, and the public. A key element of our mission is the democratization of science-we make all data freely available to the world in support of cultural heritage, heritage management, education, public access, scientific research, and to enhance the digital humanities.
