Introduction

The RETOLD Project (2020-2024), launched by EXARC and funded by Creative Europe, aims to develop a standardised workflow to freely document, digitise and share the heritage of Open-air museums. One of its key features will be the release of a unified digital platform which will improve research capacity and the preservation of digitised heritage data.
