Digitizing collections has become a standard practice for libraries, museums, and archives. But while there are clear technological possibilities for 3-D cultural artifacts, there have been no guidelines for creating these digital files. In 2018, Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) began a pilot project to establish 3-D digitization and metadata conventions that could serve as a launchpad for standardizing digital collections nationwide. Learn about the project’s process, outcomes, and next steps.

Learning Objectives:

• Upon completion, participant will be able to describe the current state of 3D object scanning standards and best practices.
• Conduct an internal analysis of your organization’s 3-D scanning methodologies and compare them to the emerging standard.
• Upon completion, participant will be able to participate in the ongoing work of developing national standards and best practices for 3D scanning.
