3D Digital Documentation Summit

NCPTT in conjunction with the Intermountain Regional Office and the Presidio Trust will host a three day summit on digital documentation for the preservation of cultural heritage.

The Conference will be held July 10-12, 2012 at the Presidio in San Francisco, California. The program will feature two days of contributed papers and a poster session, followed by a third day of field demonstrations and exercises. We are soliciting oral and poster presentations that discuss topics which center on 3D digital documentation as used for conservation and preservation. This includes documentation for treatments, applications, future development directions, research, storage issues, and curation of produced data and images. NCPTT is also looking for firms that are interested in giving product and process demonstrations on-site.

Cost of the conference is:

  • $299 Registration (After June 7, 2012)
  • $199 Early Bird Registration (Until June 7, 2012)
  • $99 Student Registration (limited student seats are available on a first come first serve bases.  Student must provide photocopy of current student ID and a letter of interest. Student applications should be emailed to jason_church@contractor.nps.gov).

Registration will close on July 1, 2012
