IntroductionEach year in technology there is a standouttopic. For 2010 all eyes are on the increasedinterest in standardization.This series of presentations and workshops
is a must-attend event for any culturalheritage institution looking to improve andstabilize their digital imaging workflow. Nowmore than ever, creating and managingconsistent authoritative digital content is amission-critical function of any culturalheritage institution.The recent economic downturn has
brought the inefficiencies of traditional imagingpractices to the forefront. The costs related toimproper capture, multiple rounds of subjec-tive image editing and proofing, are no longeracceptable. Without objective verification tostandard imaging protocols, digitizationinitiatives can easily run off course.Experts around the world have been work-
ing on the development of standardized im-aging guidelines and methods of verificationfor image capture to ultimate output. Whilemany of these methods have beenapplied individually over the years, themovement towards international standardi-zation has reached a point of critical mass.Archiving 2010 is a unique opportunity tolearn about state-of-the-art capture to out-put workflow and the in-depth informationrequired for you to learn how to implementnew imaging strategies.To underscore the inter-related nature of
today’s imaging workflow, a unique 4-hourmorning track has been organized to providea high-level overview of the entire standardslandscape bringing together experts fromaround the world to give perspectives on var-ious stages of the imaging workflow. In theafternoon, registrants can choose to attendin-depth workshops based on the specific keyworkflow elements. Instructors illustrate spe-cific tools and technologies via live demon-strations and real-world examples. To round
out the program, there are several single-topicsessions including microfilm as storage, opensource OAIS tools, program management,and a focus on best practices for digitizationof three-dimensional objects.
T1A: A Focus on International Standards:From Capture to Output8.00 – 12.15 (4 hours)
This series of short presentations is intend-ed to give a birds-eye view of best practicesfor cultural heritage imaging from captureto ultimate output with an emphasis on thegrowing trend toward international stan-dardization. Imaging experts and usersfrom around the world have joined forces toillustrate how international standards thatexist today can improve image quality con-sistency while lowering costs.
Part 1: “Meten is Weten” (To Measure is To Know):The Standards Movement
Instructors: W. Scott Geffert, Center for DigitalImaging; Hans van Dormolen, Koninklijke
Bibliotheek; and Michael Stelmach, Library ofCongress (see bios under T1C)
In a spirit of true international cooperationthis series of presentations highlights therecently introduced digitization guidelinesin the US Federal Agencies DigitizationGuidelines Initiative (FADGI) and theNetherlands Metamorfoze PreservationImaging Guidelines, and their impact oncultural heritage imaging. As imaging isstill a relatively new technology, culturalheritage institutions worldwide have strug-gled with maintaining consistent imagequality between institutions, within institu-tions and, most importantly, when usingoutside vendors for photography and digiti-zation. After many years of developmentand testing, these guidelines, along with

new tools to provide objective performanceverification, represent a critical step towardimproving the quality of digital collectionsworldwide. This will be the first time thatthe core similarities, as well as the subtledifferences in these protocols that strive toachieve the same goal—improved imagingquality and consistency—will be presented.
Part 2: Keeping Your Workflow on Track:Image Validation—Tools and Techniques
Instructors: Don Williams, Image Science Assoc.,(see bio under T4A) and Dietmar Wueller, Image
Engineering (see bio under T4C)While imaging standards are important,knowing that your imaging program meetsthese requirements is where verification be-comes essential. New technical charts andaccompanying software tools bring an arrayof scientific imaging performance testswithin reach of smaller institutions and dig-itization vendors alike. The presentationshighlight two methods of evaluating digitalcamera/scanner performance and valida-
tion to current ISO standards. Monitoringof imaging performance is a critical stepthat is often missing in digitization pro-grams. This is a rare opportunity to meetthe people behind the technology and tounderstand the design philosophies behindtwo approaches.
Part 3: Breaking Down the Silos: Strategies forMaximizing Technology Investments and Deploying
Standardized Images across DepartmentsInstructors: Howard Goldstein, Center for DigitalImaging, and Rob Hendriks, Rijksmuseum
(see bios under T2C)The program discusses the challenges fac-ing institutions as they work toward sharingresources and collaborating using newtechnologies. As digital technologies havebroken downmany departmental divides ofthe past, it is important that imaging initia-tives are closely coordinated with IT andmuseum management as a core strategicfunction. Using the recent changes to theimaging infrastructure of the Rijksmuseum

Part 4: When Pixels Meet Pulp—The Realities of ISOProofing and Printing
Instructors: Karl Koch, basICColor GmbH, andMaurice Tromp, Van Gogh Museum
(see bios under T3C)Karl Koch and Maurice Tromp illustratebest practices for image post-productionutilizing the latest ISO standards via realworld examples. Factors ranging fromviewing conditions, display calibration, andprinter calibration to working with printvendors are all critical aspects of a stableworkflow. This presentation emphasizesprocess control methods. Many institutionshave struggled with costly rounds of proof-ing and disappointing print quality. The in-structors illustrate how standardization andprocess control directly improves qualityand reduces production costs.

T2B: Managing Aesthetics: The Challenge ofImaging Three-Dimensional Objects
10.15-12.15 (2 hours)Instructors: Barbara Bridgers-Johnson and JosephCoscia Jr., The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and
Frans Pegt and Cecile van der Harten,Rijksmuseum
While the standards and best practices fordigitizing two-dimensional artworks havebeen well documented, little attention hasbeen given to best practices for the digitiza-tion of three-dimensional objects. Sculp-ture, furniture, ceramics, glassware, jewelry,etc. exist in many collections, yet the con-cept of standardization is often overlookedwhen it comes to the highly-subjective taskof visualizing objects. Just as standardiza-tion is critical for works on paper, main-taining the quality and consistency of digi-tizing 3D objects should be a priority. Thiscourse highlights two successful object im-aging programs from technical and aesthet-ic points of view. A discussion of the topicfrom a managerial policy perspective, is fol-lowed by one related to the photographicand technical challenges. The course pro-vides examples of successful strategies, aswell as common approaches to visualizingobject across institutions.
BenefitsThis course will enable the attendee to:• Learn to develop strategies for
improved 3D object photography• Create more consistent, effective images• Understand approaches to workflow
quality control• Develop equipment and staffing
strategies• Respond to changing institutional
policies
Intended Audience: program managers in thearchive, library and museum community,and imaging program managers.
Barbara Bridgers-Johnson is the general manager forimaging at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. In chargeof the museum’s in-house photography program since1986, she manages a department of nineteen photogra-phers, assistant photographers, and administrative,printing, and production staff.

T3B: Microfilm as an Established and InnovativeSolution for Long-Term Storage10.15 – 12.15 (2 hours)
Instructors: Dominik Giel, Fraunhofer IPM;Christoph Voges, Technische Universität
Braunschweig; and Klaus Wendel, Archium
Microfilm as a medium for long-term stor-age of documents can be found in almostevery library or archive. One of its majoradvantages is the lifetime of up to 500 years,depending on the material and storage con-ditions. Besides classical applications, mod-ern technologies such as laser film record-ing allow the storage of digital image data ashigh-quality color images on the film. Lat-est approaches even aim at storing any dig-ital information on the film in the form ofextremely small data points representinglogical ones or zeros.This course provides an overview of mi-
crofilm as a storage medium from differentpoint of views. After a short introduction tostate-of-the-art digitization and archivingin libraries and national archives, as well asa brief historical introduction to archivingon microfilm, a description of state-of-the-art laser exposure technology and its ad-vantages to archiving on microfilm is given.A detailed overview on the storage of ana-log documents, including data organizationand meta data insertion is provided. Final-ly, latest approaches to digital data storageon microfilm are presented. At the end ofthe course, there is a round table discussionfor questions about microfilm.
