A companion to D. W. Griffith

Abstract

1. The growing of this field of research can be observed in recent interuniversity research projects such as ‘A Million Pictures’ (coordinated by the University of Utrecht), ‘Heritage in the Limelight’ (coordinated by the Australian National University) and ‘B-magic’ (coordinated by the University of Antwerp). 2. Although the elaboration of this kind of investigation clearly lies beyond the book’s objectives, such a study would be of significant value to the field of research, now that largescale digitisation campaigns of magic lantern heritage are taking place. A useful starting point would be assessing the applicability of the existing international quality standards and state-of-the-art guidelines for digitisation of different types of cultural heritage, such as the FADGI standards or Metamorfoze programme.
