First public presentations of the EuroWeb Digital Atlas of European Textile Heritage
The team of the EuroWeb Digital Atlas has been hard at work setting up the basic infrastructure for this database, one of the main expected deliverables of EuroWeb, in close collaboration with members across the Action. As part of their outreach activities the team has now began to present the Digital Atlas in public scientific venues, to create awareness of the project and gather feedback for its development.
The first official presentation of the Atlas took place on the 17th of April in the framework of the “(In)aesthetic – contours, forms, and colours from Prehistory to the Middle Ages” Conference, in Bucharest, in which Alina Iancu (RO) and Catarina Costeira (PT), in representation of the Digital Atlas team, presented a conference with the title “The Digital Atlas of Textile and Dress. The Digitization and dissemination of the European Textile Resources”.
Another conference took place later on, on the 29th of June, as part of Europeana’s Digital Spring Programme. The team, represented again by Alina Iancu and Catarina Costeira, gave a talk on “The Digital Atlas of European Costume and Dress”, which can still be watched on Europeana’s website.
These conferences represent an important step to disseminate EuroWeb’s goals and to establish bridges with other researchers working on textile research and on the digitization of Cultural Heritage.
