Dear all,

Please see the below announcement for an NEH institute on multispectral
imaging and document recovery that we will be holding at the University
of Colorado Colorado Springs this upcoming summer. Please consider
applying and/ or sharing with others who may be interested in applying.

Uncover Hidden Histories: Join the Illuminating the Past Summer Institute!
This summer, embark on a journey of discovery at the NEH Advanced Topics
in the Digital Humanities Summer Institute Illuminating the Past Summer
Institute, hosted by Videntes and the Center for Research Frontiers in
the Digital Humanities at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs.
Immerse yourself in a world of advanced imaging techniques, 3D modeling,
and image processing. We are working to empower folks with the most
affordable and accessible version of multispectral imaging to recover
hidden, damaged, or otherwise illegible materials. We provide travel
money for post-institute research so that you can return to archives in
your own area of study with this technology.
Here's what awaits you:

   * Learn the tools: Get hands-on experience with multispectral imaging
     and other groundbreaking technologies. You'll even receive your own
     full-spectrum camera!
   * Unearth hidden stories: Recover faded texts, reveal hidden details
     in artwork, and bring overlooked historical artifacts back to life.
   * Connect and collaborate: Learn from leading experts and build
     lasting connections with fellow scholars in a vibrant learning
     environment.
   * Fuel your research: Receive funding to launch your own archival
     project and illuminate the past in new and exciting ways.
   * Access:  Our fully-funded summer institute will provide you with
     travel funds, housing, food and transportation within Colorado
     Springs for a week this summer while you learn this technology. We
     will then provide you with travel funds and your own camera to
     continue this work on your own in the archival setting of your choice.
   * Empowering others: Our goal is to make this technology as widely
     available as possible and encourage experts to recover materials in
     your own fields. Expertise is not limited to faculty, and we want to
     encourage grad students and library professionals to apply as well.
