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 [
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
