The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded a $349,515 Project Grant under the Promotion of the Humanities Division of Preservation and Access program (CFDA 45.149) to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to develop and sustain education and training opportunities for library, archive, and museum professionals, humanities scholars, and others through the creation of "communities of practice" around multispectral imaging.
The project aims to foster opportunities for discoverability, expanded access, and preventative collections care by utilizing online, onsite, and offsite loan program modalities to provide participants with hands-on experience applying multispectral imaging technology to their own collections. This builds upon RIT's previous work developing an accessible, user-friendly multispectral imaging system and software. The grant has an award date of March 1, 2025 and a completion date of February 29, 2028.
