15. The Art of Virtual Restoration: Creating the Digital Image Archive of Medieval Music (DIAMM)

Andrew Wathey, Margaret Bent, and Julia Craig-McFeely

Abstract:

The Digital Image Archive of Medieval Music is a new resource for scholars which aims to digitize, archive, and make available images of British manuscripts of medieval polyphonic music, and to develop techniques of digital image-enhancement, or "virtual restoration," to retrieve lost data or improve the legibility of materials that cannot at present be read. The article surveys the work of the project in digitizing primary sources, in creating the archive and in delivery to the end user. It also examines methods whereby image processing can enhance the examination of these sources. These methods are relevant to any discipline in which the study of original sources is undertaken.
