The second R-CHIVE (Rochester Cultural Heritage Imaging, Visualization and Education) conference will be held on the 7th and 8th of June 2018 in Rochester, NY.
Cultural Heritage Imaging is a growing field of research into the use of novel imaging techniques to study historical objects of known or unknown significance. Of particular interest are imaging techniques that go beyond the capabilities of the human visual system to discover new information about artifacts, through the enhancement of faded or otherwise unreadable text, and material analysis for codicological studies. R-CHIVE members and collaborators around the world have made significant discoveries in palimpsests (such as the Archimedes Palimpsest and many at St. Catherine’s Monastery Library in the Sinai), maps (the c. 1491 world map by Henricus Martellus, the 1507 World Map by Martin Waldsemüller, and the c. 1410 Gough Map of England), globes (the Hunt-Lenox and Jagiellonian globes), and many other texts, including musical scores.
