The Morgantina silver Treasure belonging to the collections of the Archaeological Museum of Aidone (Sicily) were involved in a 3D survey and diagnostics campaign for monitoring over time of the finds, in anticipation of their temporary transfer to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, for a period of four years. According to a multidisciplina...

... high-quality 3D digital models are responsive to the complexity of the geometric-formal of the analyzed objects and the digital collection reproduces really well the decorations in organic form (Fig. 4). The collected data so far are a great start to deepen the existing knowledge from the archaeometric to conservative point of view [3][4]. ...

Surface reconstruction of objects using photogrammetry and terrestrial laser scanning systems (TLS) has been a topic for research for many decades, especially for culture heritage data recording. Recently, many advances into these systems are now available in the market, which give the availability of collecting a huge number of geo-referenced 3-D points covering any object surface. Due to speed and efficiency of data acquisition by means of terrestrial laser scanners, researchers and designers can select the reliable technique, depending on their application, that can be complete to give good results for the complex surfaces such as heritage objects. As Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), located nearby the Giza Pyramids, is set to open by 2020, which considered as the largest museum from its type all over the world, with a huge area covered about a half million m2. GEM is proposed to be a unique museum all over the world for presenting a huge number from old history Egyptian artifacts. Consequently, there is a vital need for building a huge digital database containing complete information for this large number of artifacts. Mobile applications are presently at the primacy of documenting historical and archaeological sites. The current paper examine the methodological framework adopted for one high copy of Pharaonic artifacts, namely Offering Carrier, using hand held laser scanning and convert the results to a mobile application.
... and thus present an appropriate handle for a practical scan. It is important to note that these scanners need to be linked with a computer of mid-high range hardware. Artec 3D scanners are selected for different purposes and applications, such as industrial manufacturing, quality control, plastic surgery, and study, scanning of cultural heritages (Alberghina et. al, 2015) Why Digital Preservation? ...
All the cumulative actions undertaken by an individual or an organisation to ensure that any content is usable across generations of information technology is known as digital preservation. Although digital preservation is not a new concept for libraries as it almost started in mid 1980s, right from then the libraries have been migrating and refreshing their OPAC records as well as their databases to keep them updated with the emerging systems, software’s and technologies. The libraries are spending larger portions of their budgetary allocations either for procuring or accessing digital products and services (digital content). Archiving and preservation of digital contents has become a serious concern of libraries for collection which is acquired through subscription, purchased in the form of digital media or converted in-house. In recent years 3D scanning has become an important resource in many fields; in particular it has played a key role in study and preservation of cultural heritages. One among such devices that has remarkably invaded the world of digitization is the portable, hand held scanners which are relatively cheaper and easy to use. As technological change occurs, the digital preservation communities/organisations must detect relevant technological developments; determine their implications and real applicability for preserving digital content. Such communities/organisations must also develop timely and appropriate responses to take full advantage of the said progress and minimize obsolescence.
