Digitisation / Cataloguing of non-textual objects: Digitalisation of historical and contemporary musical instruments in extended visualisations

该项目的目标是对历史和当代南亚乐器进行数字化，重点关注Sourindo Mohan Tagore（1840 - 1914加尔各答）的收藏，扩展可视化和扩大元数据结构，作为包括音乐考古方法在内的重建研究发展的基础。第一步将是通过3D和CT扫描将S.M.泰戈尔的收藏数字化。此外，博物馆收藏的其他南亚物品也将以同样的方式进行数字化处理，以供比较。430仪器)。获得的数据将用于研究年表、材料特性、文化确定应用（铜绿、使用痕迹）、美学原则和工艺；通常需要在该领域进行详细研究的研究。在这方面将建立一个数据库，作为重建和在较小程度上复制损坏或毁坏的仪器的基础- -并辅之以对其他欧洲和印度收藏的进一步研究。同时，这些数据将有助于为泛欧数据库的建设创造前提，可以作为类似乐器研究项目的模型。

The aim of the project is the digitisation of historical and contemporary South Asian musical instruments – with a focus on the collection of Sourindo Mohan Tagore (1840 – 1914 Kolkata) – in extended visualisations and enlarged metadata structures as basis for the development of a reconstruction research including music archaeological methods.The first step will be the digitisation of S.M. Tagore’s collection by means of 3D and CT scans. Additionally other South Asian objects from the museum’s collection will be digitised in the same manner for comparison (approx. 430 instruments).The acquired data will allow studies on chronology, material properties, cultural determined applications (patina, traces of usage), aesthetical principles and craftsmanship; studies that would usually require elaborated research in the field.A database will be set up in that context as a basis – complemented by additional research in other European and Indian collections – for the reconstruction and to a smaller extent the reproduction of damaged or destroyed instruments. At the same time the data will help to create the premise for the construction of pan-European database that can serve as a model for similar projects in the research of musical instruments.
