At the 2011 IS&T Archiving Conference, we described the preliminary results of a study to assess the performance points of the protocols and methods that participating institutions used to capture representative cultural heritage materials. The goal of the study is to assess the color accuracy of different color capture and encoding approaches with a view to establishing a knowledge base and set of techniques which an institution can reference to either select or confirm the approach to color capture that is most compatible with its goals and capabilities. This paper and the associated presentation will give a progress report on that study, which has been expanded in the past year to include more institutions and additional data analysis. This study is being conducted under the auspices of CIE TC8-09, the CIE Division 8 Technical Committee on Archival Color Imaging, in partnership with the US Federal Agencies Digitization Guidelines Initiative (FADGI).
