This volume comprises the proceedings of the Third International Euro-Mediterranean Conference
(EuroMed 2010) on the historical island of Cyprus. The focal point of this conference was
digital heritage which all of us involved in the documentation of cultural heritage
continually strive to implement. The excellent selection of papers published in the proceedings
reflects in the best possible way the benefits of exploiting modern technological advances for
the restoration preservation and e-documentation of any kind of cultural heritage. Above all
we should always bear in mind that what we do now may be used by people in another century to
repair rebuild or conserve the buildings monuments artifacts and landscapes that seem
important. Recent events like earthquakes tsunamis volcanic eruptions fires and
insurrections show that we can never be too prepared for damage to and loss of the physical
and non-tangible elements of our past and in general our cultural heritage. To reach this
ambitious goal the topics covered included experiences in the use of innovative recording
technologies and methods and how to take best advantage of the results obtained to build up
new instruments and improved methodologies for do- menting in multimedia formats archiving in
digital libraries and managing a cultural heritage. Technological advances are very often
reported in detail in specialized fora. This volume of proceedings establishes bridges of
communication and channels of co- eration between the various disciplines involved in cultural
heritage preservation.
