  2. Today • What is Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI)? • Re-Reading the British Memorial

  3. Background • What is Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI)? • Developed by Hewlett Packard • Now open source and freely available • If you have a camera, a torch and a pool ball you can start today. • We will be giving a technical demonstration at 2.30

  4. What is RTI?

  5. The Project • Churches are a major social record. • Communities care deeply about churches and the people who are memorialised within them. • This material record is frequently endangered.

  6. The Project

  7. The Project • To enable community groups to record, collect, and disseminate church memorial data. • To investigate requirements for all stakeholders (public and the sector alike). • To develop a clear and simple methodology to this end.

  8. Context and Opportunities • Community interest • New technology • Global interest • The Web

  9. How it works • Each project is community led • Based on assistance • Diverse technical response

  10. Project Structure • Co-operative working practices • Decentralisation of support networks • Methodology is flexible and responsive.

  11. So Far… • 6 churches • 1 cathedral • 11 organisations • 2 community open days • 12 workshops

  12. Future Plans • More churches • More groups; a wider variety of groups (YAC; Local college photography students; Guides/Scouts) • Emphasis on training • Expanding to incorporate other needs (e.g. Survey of St. Winifred’s graveyard) • Develop online dissemination strategy • Conversations with ADS • Handbooks for use (OERs)
