The Conservation and Preservation Department of the National Palace Museum joined “The National Digital Archives Program (NDAP)” in 2005 to implement the Conservation Database of Artifacts (sub-project 5). The mission of this project is threefold: firstly, retrospective digitization of existing records, which has been produced since the early 1970s; in addition to future digital documentation; and finally to incorporate this new Database into the National Palace Museum’s collection management system. Thus, the aim of Artifacts Knowledge Management can be achieved by one single retrieval system.
Our conservation treatment and radiography of artifacts have been historically documented in print form, including paper files, annotated drawings and film-based images: photographs, negatives and X-radiographs. By carrying out this digital archive project, we are able to review the state of conservation documentation in paper format, to solve the backlog, and to catalogue the film-based images. Therefore, one of the primary goals of this two-day symposium is to share our practice methodologies for the digitization of existing handwritten documentation and for the digitization of conservation images and X-radiographs. Besides, the complex issues of access to conservation information will be also discussed.
The conference invites speakers who specialize in the field of “computed radiography” and “digitization of conservation documentation”. We hope to dialogue with conservation community world widely and to brainstorm with museum colleagues about the ideas of conservation database as a means to Artifacts Knowledge Management and the methodologies for the digitization in conservation records and radiography.
