The Arc/k Project, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, digitally archives that which is too valuable, too important, and too unique to be lost or forgotten. As great as the palaces of Versailles or as humble as a discarded arrowhead, our cultural heritage defines who and what we are—and we can all play a vitally important role in preserving it.

Crowdsourcing
Democratizing digital preservation is an important step towards communities documenting and controlling their own cultural heritage. The Arc/k Project provides free training in photogrammetry and accepts digital image donations from the public, organizations and communities. With your help, 3D models and other digital experiences can be created and preserved for generations to come.

Cultural Heritage of Syria
The tragic destruction of Palmyra in 2015 by ISIS was a catalyst that led to the creation of The Arc/k Project as a non-profit organization dedicated to the digital preservation of objects and locations under threat. These models are continuously improved by the kind donations of citizen archivist volunteers, institutions and organizations around the world. As with all of our models, they are constructed by digital images alone with no CGI or other artificial modifications.

On the Ground / Emergency Archiving
Once cultural heritage objects and locations are modified, stolen or destroyed they are forever changed. Through public, community and non-profit partnerships, Arc/k seeks to digitally preserve cultural heritage under threat around the world via simplified emergency archival capture practices. For smaller objects and locations documentation can often be done with a digital camera; at larger sites backpack size LiDAR devices could be used.
