SUMMARY:Cultural Heritage Digital Imaging and (Rodents) of Unusual Sizes
DESCRIPTION:Do you have rodents of unusual size lurking among your archival 
 or historical materials? Hopefully not real ones gnawing away on your 
 precious photographs\, maps\, documents\, and other objects\, but rather 
 large or oddly-shaped materials that seem "inconceivable" to safely 
 digitize. While this might not please Vizzini\, one of the villains in The 
 Princess Bride\, we can help make the inconceivable conceivable by sharing 
 ways to safely digitize those rodents of unusual size in your collections. 
 \n\nJoin University of Calgary Digitization Specialist Rob Alexander in 
 this informal workshop\,  open to anyone who would like to learn how to 
 photograph large or unusually shaped historical materials. We'll discuss 
 cultural heritage digitization and the techniques\, tools\, and software we 
 use to capture our rodents of unusual size. These objects include a 
 baseball signed by the 1934 American all-star team\; an eight-foot long 
 panorama photograph of Calgary (ca. 1914)\; insects\; fire insurance 
 plans\; large-format negatives\; and full-colour illustrations of birds 
 from the late 1800s.
