Today these technologies have been technologically improved to the point that allows them to be merged for different purposes. The paper presents projects related to the successful combining of these technologies with regard to CH. In three case studies we discuss processes using 3D technologies for documenting and presenting artefacts, 3D collection by the Digital Library of Slovenia and directly using techology for the restoration of museum object. Although all the examples under discussion show how these tools and processes can be used for different purposes and applications in the area of CH.Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): H.3.7 [Information Storage andRetrieval]: Digital Libraries-I.3.5 [Computer Graphics]: Computational Geometry and Object Modeling-I.3.7 [Computer Graphics]: Three-Dimensional Graphics and Realism-J.2.
