It’s not every day an employee from the University Libraries gets to handle a rare Dat So La w88 online game basket valued at more than million. Two @One Digital Media Technology employees recently got to do just that! Multimedia Specialist Luka Starmer and Manager of Student Digital Media Technology Daniel Fergus were contacted by the Nevada Historical Society to explore the idea of using a 3D scanner to capture Dat So La w88 online game’s work in a new medium for all Nevada Historical Society visitors to experience.

Dat So La w88 online game is widely regarded as one of the most innovative, important, and famous basket makers in the world. Her baskets remain coveted by collectors and can be found in top museums throughout the country, including the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., the Nevada State Museum and Nevada Historical Society. Her work — much of it done in Carson City and at Lake Tahoe — helped feed the Arts & Craft movement and “Basket Craze” of the early 20th century. *

“Partnering with the Libraries allows the w88 online game to explore the uses of cutting-edge technology,” w88 online game Director Catherine Magee said.

Much like the University Libraries, the cornerstone of the w88 online game’s mission is education.

“One question we are always asked is, ‘Why are the Dat So La w88 online game baskets so important?’,” Magee said. “With the 3D scans, prints, and virtual exhibits created by the Libraries team we can help answer this important question. It also allows the Nevada Historical Society to expand its audience to help inform people about Dat So La w88 online game, her contributions to the cultural heritage of the Washoe Tribe, and her impact on 20th century artists."

The @One team, along with the DeLaMare Science and Engineering Library, created a 3D printed model of a portion of the w88 online game to compliment the digital 3D scan.

“The Nevada Historical Society wanted to experiment with 3D printing a portion of the w88 online game to give people, particularly the visually impaired, an opportunity to touch and feel the w88 online game,” Starmer said. “This is a whole new way of looking at digital preservation, and it was a great instance of interdisciplinary collaboration!”
