Digital Heritage Mapping is a nonprofit organization based in Boston, Massachusetts, that focuses on documenting global cultural heritage sites through virtual means. Its flagship initiative, Diarna, aims to preserve Mizrahi Jewish history by capturing the physical locations associated with these communities, using a range of media including imagery, video, oral histories, and 3D representations to provide a lasting digital record. The organization operates within the nonprofit sector, applying archival and documentary methods to address the challenges of site decay and the passing of generations connected to these places. While its work centers on virtual documentation, it serves researchers, scholars, cultural historians, and communities seeking to safeguard endangered heritage through spatially anchored digital archives.
