Digital Documentation for Conservators
2-Day Workshop. Wednesday and Thursday May 27-28, 2009
Location: The Vancouver Art Gallery, 750 Hornby St., Vancouver

As conservation professionals continue to integrate digital technology
into their
procedures for examination, investigation, treatment and reporting, it
is necessary to
understand the principles guiding reliable digital image capture,
processing, use and
preservation. Workshop participants will learn the fundamentals of
Digital Image
Documentation for 2-D and 3-D objects in the context of conservation
activities. Key
issues to be discussed are: workflow, equipment, studio set-up and
imaging
software.

Conservators will learn the best standards for how to create accurate
digital images,
produce reliable presentation materials, and protect the integrity of
their digital files
for the long-term.

Instructor: Jessica Bushey
Jessica Bushey holds a Masters in Archival Studies from the University
of British
Columbia. She is currently the Head of Digitization at the Museum of
Anthropology, a
partner in CaJe Creative Group, a photography and design studio based in
Vancouver, and an instructor in the Continuing Studies Department at
Emily Carr
University of Art & Design. Her research interests focus on born digital
images as
reliable and authentic records.
