It has expired40years that UNESCO cultural heritage protection requirements was presented since1972. At present the protection of cultural heritage has become a broad consensus under the joint efforts of the international community. It was formulated that the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage (the provisions of the Convention is only for intangible cultural heritage) in1972. There have been188States Parties, including153countries and regions in the world heritage, it is one of the International treaty that including most of the State party. Reviewing the course of four decades of cultural heritage protection, the conception of intangible cultural heritage has been developed widely. It has been extended to the spiritual and cultural areas when the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage was adopted in2003. In addition, it has expanded the concept of cultural heritage, and the consensus of the protection of cultural heritage from the20th century has been added in UNESCO several meetings.The protection has been challenged more and more because the conception of cultural heritage continued to be expanded. With the change of the cultural heritage of the living conditions and the rapid development of science and technology, many traditional protection is no longer appropriate. We need new means of protection to replace the outdated means, the digital protection technology is one of the fastest development, the most attention. Digital protection began later, it starts after the deep development of computer technology. It has produced a large number of technical means and the degree of protection output, although it is less than30years for the popularity of computers in the world.China has a long history, the deep cultural, the splendid civilization, it brings a great deal of cultural heritage for us, but for various reasons, cultural heritage protection work starts late in China, it is defective, specially the digital protection starts more late, it is only over ten years. There are many problems for the digital protection work, because China is now in rapid economic transition, the imbalance of social development. There are some achievements in independent research and development project, but the large-scale projects were conducted with foreign cooperation, because we lack of advanced technology. I consider it is necessary to strengthen the website of the museum and cultural heritage institutions, but during the construction, you should pay attention to some issues that technology and cultural content must be combined closely, how to maintain the status of cultural subjects, cultural security, as well as how to strengthen and standardize management. We must strengthen to digitalize the culture heritage information resources and build resource sharing platform, as well as the achievements of the digital cultural heritage protection are spread by the carrier of new media. At last, it presents the trends of the digitization of cultural heritage protection in the future.
