Support the Future of Digital Heritage
A Global Initiative for the Digital Transformation of Archives
DTI brings together archives, cultural heritage institutions, technology innovators, researchers, genealogy platforms, and civil society organisations. Creating the connections, momentum, and support needed to unlock millions of historical records that remain inaccessible today.
Across Europe and beyond, vast archival collections remain undigitised and at risk. While the technologies already exist, many institutions still face barriers in funding, coordination, infrastructure, and long-term collaboration. DTI was created to help overcome these challenges by fostering international cooperation, supporting innovation, and strengthening access to cultural heritage worldwide.
