World Wide MISHA Day 2026

Add to Calendar

Multispectral Imaging System for Historical Artifacts (or “MISHA”) is a low-cost, end-to-end multispectral imaging system, developed by RIT’s Imaging Science and Museum Studies Programs (Grant PR-268783-20 funded by the NEH; Grant PE-303737-25, awarded 2024, terminated April 3, 2025).

MISHA's system and software can be used on small format historical documents, sheet, and leaf collections that have overwritten text, faded ink, or other un-readable or unknown content.

The system and software were launched on April 9, 2024 at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.through a short-course led by Juilee Decker, Roger Easton, and our Cultural Heritage Imaging Lab student researchers.

To celebrate our successes and the possibilities, we convened a gathering of many users of MISHA on April 9, 2025 to celebrate MISHA's first birthday. We'll do it again on Thursday, April 9, 2026.
