Participants will discuss how scholars and students can use digital technologies to achieve a more nuanced understanding of medieval culture. Castles are the perfect medium for pursuing this goal, because castle studies combine approaches from history, archaeology, art history and literature. This session will advance the historiography by showcasing the latest techniques, including 3D printing and virtual reality using 3-D models. Westley Follett
