Book digitisation in progress at the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊDH Multi-Modal Digitisation Suite

The suite is fully set up with state of the art capture for both 2D and 3D objects. We have a range of cameras, flat bed scanners, microfilm and microfiche digitisation facilities, a 3D scanner, and facilities to convert audio and video to digital formats. These facilities are available for taught courses, such as the Introduction to Digitisation module in Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊDIS, and are regularly used by PhD students and researchers working in this area. We also offer a 4-day training course in Reflectance Transformation Imaging.

The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Multi-Modal Digitisation Suite was conceived as a teaching and research facility. We work closely with the from Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Digital Services who run a 2D digitisation service: they will be able to assist you if you have items that you wished to have digitised for your research or your teaching, from one-off items to large scale digitisation projects. We are pleased to offer an advanced imaging service, including RTI and Multispectral Imaging, for detailed examination and analysis of cultural heritage objects.

Access to the suite is prioritised for those connected with Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊDH and the faculties and departments that have contributed to the facility. Training is needed before being allowed to access the suite without supervision (the costs of which have to covered by those requiring training).
