Searching for Shakespeare

The artefacts of New Place 3D

Project background

The purpose of this collection is to provide the ability to view selected objects recovered from the excavations of New Place between 2010 and 2016. These objects are presently housed in the museum collections of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and most are not readily available to be viewed by the public.

The virtual objects on display here have been scanned using structured light 3D scanners. The scanning process has enabled the production of 3D models of objects which can be viewed, rotated and interacted with online.

Facilitating research and accessibility

There are multiple outcomes in digitising this archaeological resource. The resulting 3D scans are presented for analysis, enhancement, research and preservation purposes ensuring accessibility to a wide audience. This participatory and interactive database presents only a small number of the artefacts recovered from the New Place excavations. The digitization of the entire archive remains a future goal.
