Heritage preservation sits at the nexus of many different fields, from the technological to the pedagogical. The work of the ESJF encompasses many of these fields. With these manuals, we hope to support various professionals working in the protection of Jewish cemeteries, and in doing so share the expertise necessary for achieving long-term preservation.
Jewish cemeteries need to be monitored and modelled extensively. As the field of digital heritage expands and evolves around the world, the technology used to track a site’s condition and plan protective measures has advanced along with it.
This manual details the ways we apply UAV technology to the preservation of Jewish cemeteries. With sections on the advantages of various types of drone, the relative benefits of Photogrammetry and LiDAR, and the best UAV models used for preservation work today, it provides readers the tools for getting started in this rapidly evolving field.
