The Glasgow School of Art Media Centre has recently published some of the first 3D laser scanned images of the next Scottish Ten project. The Eastern Qing Tombs – in use from 1666 to 1911 – are the final resting place of some of China’s best known emperors. The Imperial Tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were both designated as a World Heritage Site in 2000 – UNESCO describing it as a “masterpiece of human creative genius”.

CyArk is also part of this effort. If you would like to make a donation to their digital preservation efforts click here.
