  • The overall goal of the MonArch project is to define a methodology for

making accessible, catalogue, inventory, digitally secure, and preserve the archives of monumental built and archeological heritage.

  • MonArch approach: Storing digitized archivals based on their

structural position within a building or site

MonArch Approach

  • Have you ever tried to find information concerning a certain building part

in an archive?

  • Why store digitized documents based on their structural position within a

building?

– Documents belonging to a building’s archive are usually only related to a certain part of a building. – Archaeology: Sites are normally excavated room by room.

Conventional Archives

  • Common problems

– The documents themselves are of value, frequent use wears and damages them. – Sometimes even inventory numbers are missing. – Though if an archive is well-organized, search queries are limited and only

  • ne-dimensional ones are possible.

 Great effort, less effective
