DESCRIPTION:The imaging of the visual appearance of manuscripts for wide di
 ssemination via the internet is now widely practiced and has dramatically 
 changed the lives of manuscript scholars. Rather than having to travel to 
 distant repositories of unique works\, scholars may now study a variety of
  manuscripts while sitting in their offices. Valuable though this may be\,
  further advances in imaging and computing technologies have also been app
 lied to take an additional step: to recover writings from erased or otherw
 ise damaged manuscripts that may have been thought lost or even whose exis
 tence was unsuspected. The proliferation of imaging systems and processing
  methods aimed at this goal has already begun and promises a deluge of new
  imagery to be interpreted.This talk will touch upon a range of projects i
 n this area\, including studies of the Archimedes palimpsest\, a Syriac pa
 limpsest with a medical undertext\, the David Livingstone 1871 field diari
 es\, a manuscript damaged in the Dresden bombings\, and the collection of 
 palimpsests at St. Catherine’s Monastery. It will also introduce the “Laza
 rus project\,” which seeks to involve undergraduates from a variety of dis
 ciplines and institutions in the collection and processing of the imagery.
