Hi again, It looks like this list only supports plain text. Here's my announcement cleaned up, and apologies to all.
Cultural Heritage Imaging (CHI) is rolling out a two-year training program entitled “Advanced Imaging Skills for Humanities Collections Professionals” (http://culturalheritageimaging.org/What_We_Do/Projects/neh-training/). 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 (http://culturalheritageimaging.org/training), 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! (http://culturalheritageimaging.org/What_We_Do/Projects/neh-training/symposium/index.html) 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 registration begins Monday, September 12, 2016. 2. 2016 Sponsored 4-Day Training Classes: Apply Now Apply now for these classes in 2016: (http://culturalheritageimaging.org/What_We_Do/Projects/neh-training/apply.html) · RTI: de Young Museum, San Francisco, September 27–30, 2016 · RTI: Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), October 17–20, 2016 Note: The grant-sponsored training is for collections professionals working with public or nonprofit humanities collections in the United States.
