3D Colour Laser Scanning Research
UCL Museums and Collections have been awarded a grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council to develop a conference and research workshops investigating ‘3D Colour Laser Scanning’ and the potential uses of these technologies in the context of museum object research and conservation, as well as in interpretation and education and in exhibition and display.
E-Curator Research Project
The E-Curator 3D scanning research project is a one-year project currently underway at UCL Museums and Collections. The project aims to apply e-science technologies to museum work and artefact analysis, exploring the potential to capture and share 3D colour data to facilitate object-tracking and condition checking, thus enabling curators and conservators to compare records collected at different institutions andstored remotely, or collected over a period of time under different conditions, in order to assess and monitor change.
Touch Research
During the winter of 2006 and the spring of 2007 UCL Museums & Collections organised a series of workshops investigating touch and value of object handling in museums. Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the workshops brought together a diverse range of experts from academic and museum environments, with a view to establishing a network where information relating to the value of object handling can be shared and developed.
