Abstract

Digital images of medieval objects have a tremendous dualistic power to both represent and conceal. At the core, the concept of digitization is the process of working with a physical object and using imaging technology to produce a digital object. Some requesters, such as rare book curators, are particularly involved in the information exchange, sharing bibliographic and provenance details, and answering questions and listening to ideas. Keeping in mind these intangible aspects helps the digitization specialist to look for and feature visual clues that it is desirable for the end user to be able to observe. There is a very tactile quality to the imaging, and despite constant hand-washing and well-maintained collections, digitization is still sometimes a messy job. Ultimately, an awareness and understanding of the sort of project, exhibits, and research that are made possible by digitization have the reciprocal benefit of informing the conscious decisions that are made throughout the imaging process.
