Over the last decade, medium format imaging solutions have made instantaneous capture of large 2D objects possible, dramatically increasing the throughput and image quality of digitization in cultural heritage applications. Despite this, the process of digitizing oversized objects, such as original artwork and scroll manuscripts is substantially more complicated; little research has been conducted on the efficacy of using such medium format solutions for this purpose. In this study, a workflow for digitizing a collection of oversized artwork according to the Federal Agencies Digital Guidelines Initiative (FADGI) guidelines was developed. Successful development of this process demonstrates the potential this process and others like it have to expand the applications of cultural heritage digitization solutions.
