    Dear all,
    Apologies for any cross-posting.

    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. Please share
    with anyone that you know who may be interested.
    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.
