The AHRC ICT Methods Network is pleased to announce that a ‘Digital
Restoration Workbook’, produced by DIAMM (the Digital Image Archive of
Medieval Music) in conjunction with the Methods Network is now available on
the Methods Network website.
(www.methodsnetwork.ac.uk/activities/diamm.html)
The workbook was created to accompany a Methods Network-funded workshop
‘Digital Restoration for Damaged Documents’ held on 29 June 2006.
DIAMM (www.diamm.ac.uk) has pioneered the use of mainstream commercial
software to recover damaged and obscured readings from manuscript sources
which have been captured by high-resolution digital imaging. The technique
is non-invasive and has been shown to reveal material that may be obscured
by conventional document restoration processes, or beyond the capacity of
such restoration to reveal.
In the interests of academics and researchers with similar or related
interests the workbook is being made freely available via the Methods
Network website.
The workbook is available as a downloadable PDF
(http://www.methodsnetwork.ac.uk/redist/pdf/workbook1.pdf) or as a
ring-bound printed copy (£10 + £1.50 p&p [UK] ) featuring full illustrations
and gloss cover. Please email <mailto:[log in to unmask]> [log in to unmask]
to place an order.
The AHRC ICT Methods Network exists to promote and support the application
of advanced ICT methods in the arts and humanities. Please see the Methods
Network website for details about further activities that are being run by,
or in conjunction with, the Methods Network.
The Methods Network funds seminars, workshops and other activities which
demonstrate the impact on and value to arts and humanities research of
advanced ICT methods. See the Methods Network website for further
information about applying for funding or email Hazel Gardiner
