Digital Humanities After Hours: Kathryn Ann Teeter

The Centre for Digital Humanities and Arts in Iceland is pleased to announce a new lecture series: Digital Humanities After Hours. In Edda 209 at September 16th, 16:30 Kathryn Teeter will give her lecture: Future-Proofing the Past: 3D Scanning Icelandic Turf Houses.

Livestream: Here 

The Icelandic turf house is an important part of the country’s history and cultural heritage, yet these unique buildings are increasingly at risk. To ensure the survival of the turf house for future generations, we need to improve our understanding of their structural behaviour. 3D scanning is one way that digital technologies are being combined with museum conservation to increase our knowledge and support long-term conservation efforts. 

This series brings together a range of experts working across digital humanities and the arts, offering informal, engaging talks designed for a broad audience. The focus is on sharing ideas and perspectives in a clear and accessible way, making the field approachable to anyone with an interest, no prior knowledge required.
