In the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Period, inventories as a new form of documenting material culture enjoyed enormous success. Along with recording objects, these sources provide insights into buildings and their rooms and allow a reconstruction of how people worked and lived there. Based on two Digital Cultural Heritage projects dedicated to castle inventories from the 14th to 18th centuries, the contributors to this volume outline the potential of exploring inventories, discussing the perspectives and challenges of digital approaches to cultural heritage. Through the analysis of inventories and associated households, they explore how inventories allow us to reconstruct the past. In doing so, they examine digital approaches, such as processing data and modelling information.
