2012-07-24
The Centre for Image Research and Diffusion organized in 22-23 May 2012 a 14 hours workshop about digitisation in the framework of the Europeana Photography project. The workshop aimed to provide an overview of the available systems for original photographic materials digitization as well as the procedures in order to obtain the best results in terms of image quality and fidelity to the original. The teachers for this workshop were Carles Mitjà and Bea Martinez, both teachers at Polytechnics University in Catalonia (UPC), and very renowned professionals in Spain.
Here some main recommendations for partners of the project involved in the process of digitizing. These recommendations come from the explanations that the teachers made during the workshop. They can not be understood as a theoretical corpus, but a procedure in how to work.
