Introduction to MorphoSource

New

Cambridge Digital Humanities is working with MorphoSource to offer an introduction to its platform. In this workshop you will be introduced to the MorphoSource platform, which is a repository for researchers, curators, and everybody to find, view, download, and upload 3D scans and data of natural history, scientific specimens, and cultural objects.

Contributions come from museums, researchers, scholars and specialists to share findings, increase impact, and improve access to material for scientific discovery, sharing, and the advancement of human knowledge.

The workshop will cover:

• Highlight the main features
• Focus on usage most relevant to the cultural heritage sector
• Using the site - searching, exploring, referencing
• Contributing data
• Embedding content

The workshop has a GLAM focus and is more about safely storing & providing access to complex visual data content rather than story-telling, although still has aspects of engagement, but might also be of interest to STEM areas working with 3D/complex visual data or in the area of scholarly communications/data repositories.

The workshop is open to staff and graduate students who want to learn and apply digital methods and use digital tools in their research.
