New ventures in digital imaging and research: ARCHiOx
Using technology conceived and developed at Factum Arte, the ARCHiOx Project uses both a prototype photographic system and 3D scanning to bring to life relief surfaces of some of the Bodleian Libraries’ most celebrated artefacts.
About the team
The Imaging Services team is based at the Weston Library, Broad Street in Oxford.
We are a team of fourteen people, including photographers, a digitisation officer, researchers, administration and management. We have a passion for digital preservation and making the collections held by the Bodleian Libraries available for all through digitisation. We work closely with curators, conservation, the stack team, reader services and BDLSS (Digital Bodleian) to achieve this.
