Abstract

Digital Humanities pose a field of research, teaching and creation of great challenges. When disciplines such as art history are projected in preservation, study and dissemination of Cultural Heritage, the main obstacle in the current times may be the lack of mastery of digital skills that allow effective use of the tools that are available to global citizens They, in their double role of info-citizens and cyber-activists, require adequate training to beneficially impact on cultural heritage. Art History could play a leading role if it assumes the use of digital tools such as Google Arts & Culture, thus embracing the potential of Digital Humanities on whose site it could be registered. Proper information management, including its effective dissemination, is vital for the protection of cultural heritage. That is why the benefit that can be obtained, on the grounds of the disciplines traditionally associated with the study and dissemination of cultural heritage, from the digital tools available is very valuable. Analyzing the possibilities of Google Arts & Culture from the perspective of Digital Humanities would open a bouquet of possibilities for the new global citizen who is in the search for participation channels that may allow him to express himself, connect and get to know the world around him better.
