received a $500,000 grant from Bank of America Charitable Foundation to
help fund a six-week summer course. UD has offered the course in
partnership with the <a href="https://allianceofhbcumuseums.com/" target="_blank">Alliance of HBCU Museums and Galleries</a>
since 2017, and the grant enables UD and the Alliance to expand the
program, more than doubling the participants from previous years. Ten
advanced students from historically Black colleges and universities and
other minority serving institutions will begin with two weeks of cohort
training on conservation fundamentals at Winterthur Museum, Garden &
Library led by <strong><a href="https://www.artcons.udel.edu/faculty/NOwczarek" target="_blank">Nina Owczarek</a></strong>,
assistant professor of art conservation, with assistance from UD and
Winterthur conservation faculty members. Students will then work in
pairs as they intern in conservation departments at Winterthur, the
Brooklyn Museum, Fisk University, the Smithsonian American Art Museum
and Yale University. Examination and treatment projects selected during
the onsite internships will include activities centered on public and
community engagement and outreach.</p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#99d961eb-8936-415c-9024-28a13cec289a;L0|#099d961eb-8936-415c-9024-28a13cec289a|Awards and Honors;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2023.00000000000 | https://www.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=306 | |
| Augmented reality technology feautred in "News in Conservation" | Augmented reality technology feautred in "News in Conservation" | ;jwickens; | 4/14/2023 4:00:00 AM | | <p>An article in the April/May issue of <a href="https://issuu.com/nic_iiconservation/docs/nic-magazine-april-may-2023" target="_blank"><em>News in Conservation</em></a>,
a journal published by the International Institute for Conservation of
Historic and Artistic Works, features a UD project led by <strong>Joelle Wickens</strong>,
assistant professor of art conservation and a specialist in preventive
preservation. With a team including students and College of Arts and
Sciences Information Technologies professionals, Wickens demonstrated
the use of an innovative technology known as augmented reality to
inspect various locations in a multi-story historic mansion. Team
members wore headsets that gave Wickens, who uses a wheelchair for
mobility, detailed and interactive remote access to everything they were
seeing. Conservation professionals believe the technology can be
efficient and cost-effective in a variety of situations.
