Abstract
A summary of the museum and archival practices related to the digital humanities should investigate whether they have promoted the digitization of clothing and fashion archives. At the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, widespread internet use was observed, and augmented reality technologies were applied. Since March 2020, fashion collection owners have intensified their digitization. There is a comprehensive discussion about virtual reports, which, using the tools provided by modern technology, create new forms of knowledge. Contemporary art is increasingly using folklore material as a source of inspiration to explore the relationships between tradition and innovation. All over the world, artists, scholars, and curators of exhibitions try to exhibit folklore archives. In this way, the curators experiment with new, participatory, collaborative, and visual representation methods, breathing new life into traditional and folklore objects.
