  • Gutenberg Bible - Digital Manuscript
    "The year 2000 marks the 600th anniversary of the birth of Johann Gutenberg, the inventor of letterpress printing. ...To celebrate this anniversary, the State and University Library of Lower Saxony is presenting its priceless vellum Gutenberg Bible along with many other examples of European letterpress printing... [T]he Bible, which was printed in 1454, is made available to a broad international public on the Internet and as a CD-ROM. All 1282 pages of the two volumes of the Bible were scanned in at high resolution and processed for online presentation. This allows the public - in a digital "hands-on" effect - ...direct access to a priceless work which can normally only be stored in vaults or only a few pages can be shown during an exhibition."

  • Digital Michelangelo Project
    "As an application of [laser rangefinder] technology, a team of 30 faculty, staff, and students from Stanford University and the University of Washington spent the 1998-99 academic year in Italy scanning the sculptures and architecture of Michelangelo. ...Our goal is to produce a set of 3D computer models - one for each statue, architectural setting, and map fragment we scanned - and to make these models available to scholars worldwide. The motivations behind this project are to advance the technology of 3D scanning, to place this technology in the service of the humanities, and to create a long-term digital archive of some important cultural artifacts."
