Imaging Tools, Techniques, and Tactics
Channel: AIC & FAIC
Date: 15/10/2020

Advances in computing and digital imaging are continuing to introduce new techniques and increase the capabilities and applications of existing techniques for conservation documentation, so it is important to continue to discuss the available techniques, applications, and challenges.
 
The panel discussion focused on accessibility of imaging techniques for conservation documentation with panelists providing examples of institutional structure and the support of imaging within different institutions/organizations, case studies of accessible techniques in practice, and a perspective on the assessment of available imaging tools and techniques to better understand possibilities and limitations especially relating to “accessible” techniques. The panel included short presentations from the panelists followed by a moderated discussion and will conclude with questions from the audience.
