The goal of this research is the investigation of potentials and limits of UV-VIS-NIR Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) and Multispectral Imaging (MSI) for the non-destructive quantitative monitoring of spectral changes that occurs in historical papers and writing media during exhibitions at the Rijksmuseum.

Four spectral imaging instruments in Europe have been tested using the same set of samples collected from original discarded papers of the Rijksmuseum and reference targets.  

The samples include: an historical blue paper, a light sensitive pastel, papers with foxing and metal intrusions,  a sanguine (red chalk) and the Blue Wool Standard grade 1.

Data presented here is part of the research and is the Multispectral imaging data captured using the Multispectral imaging system of the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures in Hamburg.

Imaging was performed on 07-08.12.2016

The research for project Z01 was funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) within the Sonderforschungsbereich 950 (SFB 950). The research was conducted within the scope of the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures (CSMC) at Universität Hamburg, in collaboration with the Migelien Gerritzen Fund/Rijksmuseum Fund.
