Organizer
The project Saint Sophia’s Inscriptions, University of Gothenburg’s Research Infrastructure in Digital Humanities, Centre for Critical Heritage Studies and the Heritage Academy at the University of Gothenburg, Museum of World Culture

Carved into the walls of the Saint Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv are more than 7,000 inscriptions that span over a thousand years and follow different language and writing systems. The inscriptions in Saint Sophia Cathedral constitute a source of knowledge about the cultural history of man, language and writing, migration, trade, cultural exchange, and cultural diversity in Europe, and are a primary source for various disciplines and fields of research.

To safeguard and disseminate this cultural heritage and source for research, a project collaboration between Ukraine and Sweden has been initiated. The project has documented the inscriptions with diverse digital technologies and is now publishing the data through an online portal. In this inauguration event, the portal will be demonstrated and technologies unboxed.
