Spectral Imaging

Our advanced multispectral imaging offers new insights into the historic record for scholarship and preservation:

@michabt @SpectralDH Following our multispectral imaging of Codex Ambrosiana B with our portable system, statistical processing of captured images in different wavelengths of light now supports scholarly studies into this early critical edition of the Old Testament in the Ambrosiana Library, Milan

More on our work to support visualization and digital preservation of graffiti left by soldiers on interior walls during the US Civil War virginialiving.com/civil-war-graf…

Great to be back @StanfordLibs working with @bla222 and Michael Penn in imaging workshop with wonderful @StanfordSpec materials spanning cultures and beliefs, sponsored by @StanfordReligSt

@RBTothAssociate @LULGalleries @riponcathedral @SpectralDH @TonyFourtoes @LeedsIMS @nkivilcimyavuz @emmacayley @UniversityLeeds Hardly Campbell's Soup Cans, but the colors do pop!

Working with great @_GlassStars_ team to digitize important century-old observations from historic @CenterForAstro glass plate negatives with @SpectralDH, including annotations by pioneering female "computers"

@RBTothAssociate @NatAsianArt @SpectralDH More about the amazing @NatAsianArt Conservation and Scientific Research and team at asia.si.edu/research/conse…

Great to support the masterful @NatAsianArt research and conservation during their treatment campaign for the exhibit through Jan 2024: "Palace Life Unfolds: Conserving a Chinese Lacquer Screen" asia.si.edu/whats-on/exhib…

Schedule conflicts this year precluded attending @ImagingOrg #archiving2023 this week, but looking forward to catching up on digitization and @SpectralDH multispectral imaging activities over the summer

Lots of new information available for #IMC2023 from this year's @leedsIMS Digital Explorations Workshop @UniversityLeeds, including collaborative @SpectralDH multispectral imaging & digital processing of medieval manuscripts @LeedsUniHistory

Just 2 weeks until my @SmithsonianSA program this year: "Taking a New Look at Historical Objects: Interdisciplinary Technology Studies Unveil Insights". Register now smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tick…

First day of #LeedsDigitalExplorations @SpectralDH #multispectral imaging from UV through VIS to IR with support of professional imaging team @UniversityLeeds & workshop participants

We've come a long way in our work supporting palimpsest studies over past 20 years, including with great Oxford Don & philologist Nigel Wilson: from days of #multispectral imaging & processing by teams of scientists to turnkey @SpectralDH imaging systems with real-time processing

Wonderful to spend last 2 weeks here in UK working with dedicated teams of DH, digitization & manuscript experts, opening up new opportunities for integrated humanities & technology research. Thanks to all!

On 29 March 3.30 pm UK time @michabt will be giving a lecture (in-person and on Zoom) at @LeedsIMS titled 'Revealing History with Interdisciplinary Technology Studies'. Open to all. Registration required: eventbrite.com/e/revealing-hi… #LeedsDigitalExplorations #CulturalHeritage #dh

We will also have an in-person intensive workshop on 29-31 March on '#MultispectralImaging and Digital Collaboration' by @michabt. Few spots left if anyone wants to take advantage of this fantastic #handsonlearning opportunity: eventbrite.com/e/digital-expl… #LeedsDigitalExplorations

This applies to so many scientific disciplines and even digital humanities, with large amounts of data available for new and creative research with ever more capable processors & tools

Proud to support @GeorgeMasonU @chnm develop digital methods for collecting, archiving & sharing records of soldiers' activities during US Civil War with @NEHgov grant to study preservation of local history gmu.edu/news/2023-03/n…

My 2d decade of @SmithsonianSA programs on 2 May starts with what we hope will be a hybrid presentation "Taking a New Look at Historical Objects: Interdisciplinary Technology Studies Unveil Insights". Register now at: smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tick…

Looking forward to leading advanced imaging workshop @LeedsUniAHC @UniversityLeeds 29-31 March, including @SpectralDH #multispectral imaging of Ripon Cathedral medieval manuscripts. Sign up now for online lecture: eventbrite.com/e/revealing-hi…

New from the blog: RRCHNM collaboration with @CityofFairfaxVA Office of Historic Resources at Historic Blenheim and the Brandy Station Foundation on a @NEHgov grant is underway to create metadata schema for the digitization of historic graffiti. rrchnm.org/news/rrchnm-re…
