This is a follow on proposal to the ongoing project "From Lima to Canton and Beyond: An AI-aided heritage materials research platform for studying globalisation through art", which set out to investigate the large group of ethnographic and selected scientific watercolours (e.g. maps and botanical drawings), made for export to Europe or North America by local artists in north-western Latin America and Asia from 1780 to 1850. Inspired by the Enlightenment, these works were the result of the European colonial powers such as Britain and Spain, collecting information from around the world via local officials in their colonies, but are now widely dispersed in public collections in the UK and US. The aim was to solidify our understanding of the large corpus (several thousands) of ethnographic works, on the one hand, and maps and botanical drawings on the other, by linking scientific analysis of artist materials such as pigments and paper to parallel research in art history, social and economic history, biography, and artistic analysis (connoisseurship) - establishing datasets combining analytic physical description with documentation of places of manufacture, names and locations of collectors, provenance (collection histories) of objects, and groupings of works by attributions to different artistic hands. Among the secondary objectives is to understand the global cultural and economic connections from Latin America to Asia and Europe. In the current project we visited a diverse range of cultural organisations from university libraries and museums, national libraries and archives, national museums, learned societies. The follow on project is informed by the feedback we received in discussion with the various partners of the project, advisors, consultants and others including those on European and UK research infrastructure projects (IPERION HS, E-RIHS, DigiLab, RICHeS, TANC) or those in receipt of infrastructure investment (AHRC Capco) of the needs as follows: 1) Active dissemination of a well-tested heritage material analysis workflow to the heritage science community to improve efficiency through the AI-assisted tools that ensure thorough but efficient analysis 2) Addition of a digital tool to streamline the workflow from data collection to interpretation and public engagement 3) Addition of Filipino collection that potentially fills the gap between Peruvian watercolours and their Chinese copies on pith from Canton to enhance our understanding of early 19th century global circulation of ethnographic watercolours - studying new collections naturally leads to engagement with new cultural organisations 4) Including the American and Dutch activities during this period using either new data or data collected from past AHRC projects5) Inclusion of detailed analysis of the paper substrate in addition to spectral analysis of the paper through interaction with paper conservators 6) Dissemination to curators and the general public of the artist materials from different cultures, geographic locations and for different consumers studied in this project, which covers Peru, Colombia, China, Japan, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, Iran and selected European and American artists who visited these locations and co-created with local artists. Such engagement will showcase the benefits of interdisciplinary research and how scientific analysis of materials brings a different perspective to historical research.

这是正在进行的项目“从利马到广州及其他地区：通过艺术研究全球化的人工智能辅助遗产材料研究平台”的后续提案，该项目旨在调查1780年至1850年间拉丁美洲西北部和亚洲当地艺术家为出口到欧洲或北美而制作的大量民族志和精选科学水彩画（例如地图和植物绘画）。受启蒙运动的启发，这些作品是英国和西班牙等欧洲殖民大国通过其殖民地的地方官员从世界各地收集信息的结果，但现在广泛分布在英国和美国的公共收藏中。目的是通过将艺术家材料（如颜料和纸张）的科学分析与艺术史、社会和经济史、传记和艺术分析（鉴赏）的平行研究联系起来，一方面巩固我们对大量（数千）民族志作品的理解，另一方面巩固我们对地图和植物绘画的理解——建立数据集，将分析物理描述与制造地点的文件相结合。收藏家的名字和地点，物品的出处（收藏历史），以及不同艺术家的作品分组。次要目标之一是了解从拉丁美洲到亚洲和欧洲的全球文化和经济联系。在目前的项目中，我们参观了各种各样的文化组织，从大学图书馆和博物馆，国家图书馆和档案馆，国家博物馆，学会。我们在与项目的各个合作伙伴、顾问、顾问和其他人(包括欧洲和英国的研究基础设施项目（IPERION HS、E-RIHS、DigiLab、RICHeS、TANC）或接受基础设施投资的项目（AHRC Capco）讨论时收到的反馈，告知后续项目的需求如下：1)积极向遗产科学界传播经过良好测试的遗产材料分析工作流程，通过人工智能辅助工具提高效率，确保全面而高效的分析；2)增加数字工具，简化从数据收集到解释和公众参与的工作流程；3)增加菲律宾收藏，可能填补秘鲁水彩画与广东水彩画的中国副本之间的空白，以增强我们对中国文化的理解19世纪早期人种学水彩画的全球流通——研究新的收藏自然会导致与新的文化组织的接触4)包括美国和荷兰在这一时期的活动，使用新的数据或从过去的AHRC项目中收集的数据5)通过与纸张保存者的互动，除了对纸张进行光谱分析外，还包括对纸张基材的详细分析6)向策展人和艺术家的公众传播该项目研究了来自不同文化、地理位置和不同消费者的材料，涵盖了秘鲁、哥伦比亚、中国、日本、东南亚、印度次大陆、伊朗，并选择了访问这些地方并与当地艺术家共同创作的欧美艺术家。这种参与将展示跨学科研究的好处，以及对材料的科学分析如何为历史研究带来不同的视角。
