Hi folks,
I'm happy to share this information about upcoming training and a symposium.
We hope to see some MCN folks at these events. Please note the special priority
for small museums in the training sessions and please help us spread the word!
Cultural Heritage Imaging (CHI) is rolling out a two-year training program
entitled “Advanced Imaging Skills for Humanities Collections Professionals” The
two-year project, sponsored by a grant from the National Endowment for the
Humanities, will expand CHI's work in providing training in Reflectance
Transformation Imaging (RTI) and photogrammetry, including a two-day symposium
at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2017. These imaging technologies are
powerful skills to acquire for the documentation, preservation, analysis, and
digital access of materials in humanities collections of all sizes. 1.
Symposium in March 2017: Save the Dates! Illumination of Material Culture: A
Symposium on Computational Photography and Reflectance Transformation Imaging
(RTI) at The Met on March 7-8, 2017. The symposium is open to all who are
applying RTI and related computational photography techniques or are exploring
their use in collections. The symposium will bring together approximately 90
conservators and humanities collections professionals, photographers, curators,
archivists, imaging experts, researchers, and technology experts to present the
latest updates to RTI technology and related imaging techniques. Symposium
