Abstract

Libraries have been the key to preserving culture and historic legacy for centuries. One such treasure cataloged in The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) Libraries is a collection of over 33,000 Sanborn™ Fire Insurance Maps. Originally kept safe in metal drawers, the library has embarked on a journey to digitize this abundance of information, combine it with other media such as photographs, and make it accessible through a web interface. Inspired by these efforts, we accessed this information and took it to the next level. Using state of the art 3D modeling and immersive technologies, we created a historic 3D model and immersive experiences of Penn State, exemplarily for the 1922 campus. The resulting experiences can be accessed through the web but also through head mounted displays (HMDs) and mobile phones in combination with VR viewers such as the Google Cardboard. Additionally, they can be used anywhere in the world or on the campus itself as a way to enable remote and in situ experiences and learning. Immersive experiences let us connect to the past, the present and the future, and as such offer value to digital cultural heritage efforts.

从档案,到访问,到体验——历史文献作为沉浸式体验的基础
几个世纪以来,图书馆一直是保护文化和历史遗产的关键。宾夕法尼亚州立大学(Penn State)图书馆收录了33,000多张Sanborn™火灾保险地图。图书馆最初被安全地保存在金属抽屉里,现在已经开始将这些丰富的信息数字化,将其与其他媒体(如照片)结合起来,并通过网络界面进行访问。在这些努力的鼓舞下,我们获取了这些信息,并将其提升到了一个新的水平。使用最先进的3D建模和沉浸式技术,我们创建了宾夕法尼亚州立大学的历史3D模型和沉浸式体验,例如1922年的校园。由此产生的体验可以通过网络访问,也可以通过头戴式显示器(hmd)和结合谷歌Cardboard等VR观看器的手机访问。此外,它们可以在世界任何地方或校园内使用,作为远程和现场体验和学习的一种方式。身临其境的体验让我们与过去、现在和未来联系起来,因此为数字文化遗产工作提供了价值。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Map & Geography Libraries is a multidisciplinary publication that covers international research and information on the production, procurement, processing, and utilization of geographic and cartographic materials and geospatial information. Papers submitted undergo a rigorous peer-review process by professors, researchers, and practicing librarians with a passion for geography, cartographic materials, and the mapping and spatial sciences. The journal accepts original theory-based, case study, and practical papers that substantially advance an understanding of the mapping sciences in all of its forms to support users of map and geospatial collections, archives, and similar institutions.
