Projects
At the Center for Research Frontiers in the Digital Humanities, we work collaboratively with educators, researchers, students, and other schools to create projects that combine innovative technology with both the liberal arts and sciences. Check out some of our projects!
Multispectral Imaging (MSI) is the practice of taking multiple images of the same object in several different wavelength bands to reveal physical characteristics lost to time. Here Dr. Davies shares resources, raw data and processed images of medieval manuscripts.
Videntes is a cross-disciplinary collective of scholars including UCCS CRFDH’s Co-Director Helen Davies. Founded in Vercelli, Italy, the collective uses multi-spectral imaging and photogrammetry to recover things lost or unseen in medieval manuscripts. They seek to illuminate what mattered about objects in the past, argue what should matter to the present, and imagine what could matter for the future.
The Lazarus Project is a collaborative, interdisciplinary initiative that brings together experts to recover the lost stories of our collective past and fill in the gaps in the record of human knowledge. Lazarus Project efforts include UCCS CRFDH co-director Dr. Davies’s multispectral imaging expertise.
Historia Cartarum provides a comprehensive collection of resources related to medieval maps and mapping. It serves as a valuable guide for scholars, students, and enthusiasts interested in cartography during the medieval period.
