Musée Maritime de La Rochelle safeguards its watercolour collections
Arkhênum’s mission: digitally preserving Maritime Museum’s heritage collection
With its heritage fleet and range of exhibition spaces, the Musée Maritime de La Rochelle immerses visitors in the region’s exciting maritime history. The onshore exhibition features small pleasure boats, maritime objects and models. A collection of watercolours will be added to the museum’s archives for long-term preservation.
The Museum commissioned Arkhênum to physically and digitally preserve its collection. Our specialists carried out preliminary work to remove the watercolours from their frames.
Repacking the collections in paper pouches and PH neutral boxes will guarantee their long-term conservation. The Arkhênum team will be responsible for identifying documents and recording the inventory numbers on the packaging.
Operators will digitally safeguard the watercolours. Creating these digital duplicates will not only ensure the long-term preservation of these collections but will also open opportunities for new media, particularly digital media.
Arkhênum will provide its global expertise across the entire project, from gathering customer requirements and analysing documents to digitising heritage documents.
