The purpose of this project was to work under the auspices of UNESCO to promote the preservation and restoration of Venetian material culture. This was accomplished through the creation of 3,068 individual wiki pages, as well as the development of an augmented reality mobile application. In an attempt to advance the PreserVenice initiative, priority and cost analyses were conducted to promote the preservation and restoration of these pieces of material culture.
