PatriNat : The drawings in Buffon's Histoire naturelle, towards a digitized heritage.

摘要

The PATRINAT project mainly focuses on the cataloging, digitization and dissemination of the drawings and engravings composing the collection of drawings given by Buffon to the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Those drawings used for the Histoire naturelle have never been displayed because of the difficulty of letting them be accessible or manipulated. This is why a digitization work has to be carried out and how we envisage the preservation and display of these multidisciplinary items. To respect the multidisciplinarity of the objects, we're working with art historians and biologists to give the most scientific approach of those drawings.
