As museums strive to make their collections more accessible, particularly for research purposes, the use of 3D scanning has become increasingly prevalent. Like many museums, the MFA receives many requests for 3D models, both digital and printed. As a result, we are working toward establishing supportive and sustainable procedures that balance external requests with internal systems and ever-changing technological developments.
We have developed this survey with two goals in mind. The first is to develop a broader understanding of current processes and challenges among other museums; the second is to compile and share information to help standardize language and scanning practices across museums. We welcome multiple responses from the same institution and we will gladly share what we learn with participants.
The survey should take approximately 10 minutes and will be open until November 20. Thank you for your feedback!
