One of the greatest treasures of that vast archive is a tiny, bronze-alloy orb, no bigger than a grapefruit: the Hunt-Lenox Globe, one of the oldest terrestrial globes in existence. Dating from about 1510, it\u2019s also one of the earliest globes to depict the New World.<\/p>\n<p>The appeal of the globe for map lovers and scholars alike is easy to see\u2014but until now, that\u2019s been the only thing readily visible about the Hunt-Lenox. Now researchers at the <a href=\"\/\/www.rochester.edu\/\">University of Rochester<\/a> have changed that. They\u2019ve created a three-dimensional digital model of the globe that allows anyone with internet access to view the globe in stunning detail, spinning it at will to see how early cartographers conceived of the world.<\/p>\n<p>The Hunt-Lenox Globe\u2019s small size, dark color, and armature\u2014the\u00a0stand in which it sits\u2014conspire\u00a0to conceal the details of its surface. The land masses etched upon it include two areas representing the New World: one in the location of South America and the other, a mysterious, large island in the southern Indian Ocean. There are hard-to-spot artistic elements, too: sea monsters, ships, shipwrecks, and, just below the equator, the warning \u201cHic Sunt Dracones,\u201d or \u201cHere Be Dragons.\u201d Viewers couldn\u2019t see such details even when the New York Public Library placed the globe on exhibit. Given the globe\u2019s value, access for scholars has also been limited.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-417712\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hunt-lenox-sea-monster.jpg\" alt=\"close-up detail of a sea monster carved onto a wooden globe.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hunt-lenox-sea-monster.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hunt-lenox-sea-monster-630x360.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hunt-lenox-sea-monster-768x439.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-417732 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hunt-lenox-globe-here-be-dragons.jpg\" alt=\"close up detail of a wooden globe with the words Hic Sunt Dracones.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hunt-lenox-globe-here-be-dragons.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hunt-lenox-globe-here-be-dragons-630x315.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hunt-lenox-globe-here-be-dragons-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hunt-lenox-globe-here-be-dragons-600x300.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Here be dragons.

In collaboration with the New York Public Library and with support from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, the Lazarus Project set out to make the globe accessible to everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Lazarus Project director <a href=\"\/\/www.sas.rochester.edu\/eng\/people\/faculty\/heyworth_gregory\/index.html\">Gregory Heyworth<\/a>, an associate professor of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sas.rochester.edu\/eng\/\">English<\/a> and textual science at Rochester, and Van Duzer led the effort. First, they photographed the globe using both conventional photography and multispectral imaging, a process that employs different wavelengths of light to generate highly detailed images. The team typically uses the process to recover hidden or damaged text or images. Such recovery wasn\u2019t the issue for the Hunt-Lenox, but an eye to the future was: multispectral imaging meticulously records information about an object\u2019s condition, data that allow conservators to monitor the condition of an object over time and adjust its archival storage accordingly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-417692 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hunt-lenox-globe-multispectral-imaging.jpg\" alt=\"small globe sits on a stand which being scanned by a bright green light.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hunt-lenox-globe-multispectral-imaging.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hunt-lenox-globe-multispectral-imaging-630x473.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hunt-lenox-globe-multispectral-imaging-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hunt-lenox-globe-multispectral-imaging-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>The Lazarus Project team record images of the surface of the Hunt-Lenox Globe, one of the oldest globes in the world, using a process known as multispectral imaging. (Lazarus Project\/Digital Scholarship Lab photo)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From the start, the team aimed to produce a 3-D model, ultimately collaborating with a software developer in Rochester\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/dslab.lib.rochester.edu\/hunt-lenox-globe\/\">Digital Scholarship Lab<\/a>. Joshua Romphf builds tools to help with faculty research and the dissemination of findings. To make the Hunt-Lenox Globe model, Romphf expanded on work he and colleagues originally developed to support the <a href=\"https:\/\/dslab.lib.rochester.edu\/the-ward-project\/\">Ward Project<\/a>, a digital repository of zoological and geological materials collected at Rochester in the 19th century, when the three largest museums in the US were at Harvard, the Smithsonian, and the University of Rochester.<\/p>\n<p>Creating the globe model involved two main processes. First was \u201cstructure from motion,\u201d a technique that uses overlapping photographic images to create a point cloud\u2014a collection of points in three-dimensional space that represent positions on the surface of the object. The second process involved reconstructing the surface of the globe, giving it the appearance of texture by laying digital photographs around the model.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/resurrect3d.lib.rochester.edu\/models\/5bdc5e604270f527332282dd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-417682 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hunt-lenox-globe.gif\" alt=\"animated gif showing a small globe spinning.\" width=\"600\" height=\"277\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/resurrect3d.lib.rochester.edu\/models\/5bdc5e604270f527332282dd\">Take the globe for a spin: 3-D model of the Hunt-Lenox Globe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s like wrapping a label on a soup can,\u201d says Romphf. \u201cThat\u2019s how you get the really detailed features on the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Hunt-Lenox Globe model is an opening salvo for the Lazarus Project\u2019s Resurrect3D, an open-source online educational platform for visualizing, annotating, and displaying difficult-to-study objects. The beta version focuses on damaged cultural heritage objects\u2014manuscripts, globes, maps, and paintings\u2014that have been imaged multispectrally. Under development are capacities for viewers to experience objects in virtual-, augmented-, and mixed-reality environments as well as a three-dimensional, immersive presentation feature.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_418082\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-418082\" style=\"width: 556px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/lenox-globe_web-556x630.jpg\" alt=\"image of hunt-lenox globe in armature\" width=\"556\" height=\"630\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-418082\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/lenox-globe_web-556x630.jpg 556w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/lenox-globe_web.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 556px) 100vw, 556px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-418082\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The armature that holds the globe obscures some of the orb&#8217;s intricate detail.

He envisions Resurrect3D as a remedy to that invisibility, not only making objects available but also offering a \u201csensory plenitude that profoundly enhances our ability to understand and learn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team is already at work on its next Resurrect3D project. The Hunt-Lenox has a sibling globe, the Jagiellonian Globe, held by the Jagiellonian University Museum in Poland. The Lazarus Project has imaged this globe, too, and now Romphf is producing a 3-D model.<\/p>\n<p>A democratic vision drives the work of making cultural objects available not only to scholars but also to anyone who\u2019s interested, for free. The New York Public Library plans to make the model of the Hunt-Lenox globe accessible on its website.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an amazing artistic object,\u201d says Van Duzer of the globe, and its depiction of a second America \u201cshows just how difficult it was to map new discoveries and to understand what their relationship was with what people thought they knew about the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And while the Resurrect3D platform is only in the early stages of development, Heyworth is already enthusiastic about its potential to \u201cchange how archives work and change the teaching of cultural history.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"large-up-3\">\n<div class=\"column\" style=\"padding-left: 0px;\"><a
