Towards the Imaging Wiki 2.0

Created in 2020, the Imaging Wiki has since served as a repository of collective knowledge on conservation imaging practices and methods. It was initially designed with a linear structure, where each method is an article -- like a chapter in a book.

In 2025, the IWG (Imaging Working Group) expressed a renewed interest in the Wiki, but adopting a new approach was necessary.

The benchmark

• Content accuracyInformation is correct, up-to-date, and verifiable
• Navigation and accessibilityInformation is found easily through a logical and coherent structure
• ConsistencyInformation is present in a familiar and uniform style, in terms of layout, formatting, and tone
• Community and collaborationEdits, updates, and improvements are freely done by all users

The rules

• IWG Content Policy: What information should be included?
• IWG Style Guide: How to present the information?
• Trello board: What is to be done? What are the priorities? Who does what?
• Google Drive: Where do we archive old contents? Where do contributors propose edits?

Approach

• Transition from linear to organic taxonomy
  • Categorisation of the pages / articles
  • Wikilinks to pages / articles across all the AIC Wiki
• Backstage editing:
  • Simplify / elaborate concepts
  • Break up walls of text into multiple pages / articles
  • Rearrange information to ensure logical narrative
  • Simplify breakdown structure of headings
• Archive and document orphan contents (media and text)
• Update functional pages for community, editors, and contributors
  • Imaging Wiki homepage
  • IWG editors' toolbox
  • Help:IWG help wanted
  • Help:IWG Contributors' Toolbox
  • Help:IWG Wiki Technique Template

Imaging Working Group

The Imaging Working Group (IWG) was established in the Spring of 2020 in recognition of the importance of imaging documentation and examination in conservation efforts. We aim to develop both a community and resources to support conservators in utilizing the growing number of imaging technologies and practices. We support communication and cross-disciplinary collaboration through meetings, community events, and projects, identify and address the imaging needs and challenges that conservators encounter in their work, and promote best practices in conservation imaging.

The IWG is partnered with the AIC Research and Technical Studies (RATS) Specialty Group.

What we do

We have an active schedule of monthly Open Zoom meetings, during which our chair hosts an open meeting on the last Friday of every month, and formal Quarterly Meetings. Upcoming meetings are announced on our Community forum.

The IWG Community counts more than 200 members from all specialties, including conservators, technicians, researchers, and imaging specialists. The platform provides valuable forum where the community can share and exchange ideas and practical information, facilitate open discussion, disseminate group-related news, questions, job postings, announcements, comments of interest, and general information.

The Imaging Wiki aims to establish a knowledge base to share information about conservation imaging The Wiki is a dynamic resource for the community and the site's content is a collaborative work-in-progress.

Founding members of the IWG have planned programming at AIC's Annual Meeting since before the group formed, and we still actively participate to bring presentations on imaging topics at concurrent general sessions and panels.
