Abstract
The task I set myself in this Foreword is to sketch out an historical context for the contributions to Language Technology for Cultural Heritage so as to illumine their wider intellectual signiï¬cance. The problems they identify are fascinating in and of themselves, and the work on which they report brings most welcome beneï¬ts to the cultural heritage sector. But beyond the technical fascinations and the new affordances is a slower moving, much less immediately visible shift in relations between techno-scientiï¬c and humanistic ways of knowing. That's the huge subject at which I take a momentary glance here.
