The ELAR corporation completed the project of digitization of exhibits of "State Historical Museum"

2018

On January 24, 2018 ELAR Corporation announced project completion of digitization of exhibits of the State Historical Museum (SHM): the electronic directory of images of objects from department of precious metals is created.

For half a year the group of experts on photography and high-quality scanning transferred to a digital format more than 24 thousand exhibits from the GIM richest collection. These are such objects of a meeting as monuments of the Russian gold and silver case, appointed silver drinking ware, jewelry art of the Caucasus and Central Asia, works of great Russian jewelers of the end of the XIX beginning of the 20th century from companies "Fabergé", "Khlebnikov", "Ovchinnikov".

Shooting was carried out on the equipment and when setting light which allow to transfer precisely on the electronic copy all features of a subject that it was possible to be identified also on the computer screen, and on a printing print.

"Joined in a digital frame of each subject in addition to the image of the exhibit its accession number. Number is reflected in the picture in the museum accounting system, and its existence will allow to define a subject of the digital copy. The color scale is necessary for preserving of a color rendition of the image in case of its use at printing and in other systems". Lyudmila Morozkina, the Head of Department on work with the museums of ELAR corporation

2014: Digitization of credentials

On December 10, 2014 ELAR corporation announced the project of formation in the State Historical Museum of the database - electronic fund of use of accounting documentation.

Works on digitization of stock record books for the State Historical Museum were performed by ELAR corporation. On the basis of information from graphic images of the scanned documents records of the database on the approved list of fields are created. The electronic resource should be loaded into an information system of the museum and to transfer to the State directory of museum fund of the Russian Federation which creates GIVTs Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation for providing an open information access about each subject which is a part of Museum fund of the Russian Federation.

2011

For digitization of this unique collection the State Historical Museum purchased a complex of high-quality scanning of ELAR Pauerskan D14000 A0-20/25 intended for digitization of museum collections of maps, books, painting, graphics, etc. The Pauerskan ELAR complex completely excludes risk of damage of originals, allowing to scan any documents, including shabby and especially valuable. The contactless method of scanning and safe lighting, without IK - and UV-radiations, guarantee safety of documents in the course of digitization. The high-quality photodetector and a management system for the scale of scanning allow to scan images with high optical resolution. Depth of color of 42 bits, control of lighting and a color rendition provide reprographic quality of the scanned images. For exact reproduction of color at the subsequent reprint ICC profiles are supported. Uniqueness of this scanning equipment also that before it was impossible to create scans of scale representations entirely. When processing cards of big scale it was necessary to scan their parts which "stuck together" then on the computer that finally resulted in inaccuracy of "gluing together" and non-compliance with geometrical proportions of the image.

As a result of cooperation of the State Historical Museum and ELAR corporation limited circulation released a multimedia disk which contains text information and also photos of exhibits and 100 unique maps with detailing unavailable before and transmission quality of the image. The disk is going to be presented at the Cards of a Gallant Century exhibition organized within the XXIV International conference on history of cartography which for the first time for the existence will take place in Russia in the Russian state library from July 10 to July 15, 2011.

The joint project is designed to open access to 100 unique cards which historical and art value did not allow to expose them before visitors of the museum earlier.
