Virtual curation of historical objects is well suited to reflexive and collaborative research efforts between scholars and students located around the globe, and for public outreach both in brick-and-mortar museums and throughout cyberspace.
This paper focuses on the efforts of the Virtual Curation Laboratory to curate and digitally conserve ob - jects from historical sites using a NextEngine Desktop 3D Scanner.
This enhanced access will contribute to a broader reflexive archaeology and further archaeology as a tool for social engagement. Researchers and the general public anywhere in the world can access, manipulate, and share three-dimensional (3-D) digital models of artifacts that might otherwise be locked away behind display glass. TECHNICAL BRIEFS IN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 2013, 7: 1–12 Virtual curation of artifacts-the creation of intangible digital models from tangible artifacts-has clear benefits to opening up the historical past. Enfin, contrairement `a ce qu’on pourrait croire, nous montrerons qu’il n’a pas vraiment utilis ́e la trigonom ́etrie dans ses exemples concrets d’arpentage. Nous allons ici illustrer et expliquer les m ́ethodes qu’il a utilis ́ees. L’emploi combin ́e de ces sujets est assez d ́eroutant pour le lecteur moderne. Grˆace `a deux «cahiers math ́ematiques» qu’il a compil ́es `a l’adolescence, nous sommes en mesure de montrer exactement ce qu’il connaissait de la trigonom ́etrie et de l’arpentage. On peut alors se demander quelle ́etait sa connaissance des math ́ematiques et comment il s’en servait `a titre d’arpenteur. =Vous vous souvenez probablement de vos ann ́ees `a l’ ́ecole ́el ́ementaire que Georges Washington a ́et ́e pendant plusieurs ann ́ees de sa jeunesse arpenteur professionnel. Finally, in contrast to what one would expect, we will argue that he did not use trigonometry in surveying. The combined use of these subjects is perplexing to the modern reader, so we shall illustrate and explain the methods he used. But how much mathematics did he know and how did he use it as a surveyor? Thanks to two “cyphering books” he compiled as a teenager, we are able to show what he learned of trigonometry and surveying. You will probably remember from your grade school education that George Washington spent several of his youthful years as a professional surveyor.
