AUDUBON’S BIRDS OF AMERICA FOLIO DIGITAL INTERACTIVE
Client: American Philosophical Society Museum
The American Philosophical Society Museum engaged Greenhouse Media to develop a digital interactive that would allow visitors to leaf through the pages of John James Audubon’s seminal work, Birds of America. The rare book’s condition is too precarious to allow visitors to explore the original document by hand. GhM worked with the museum to create a digital facsimile that could be explored through a touchscreen interface in the gallery, and online from anywhere. Individual pages of the book were photographed and digitally reassembled along with didactic annotations providing background information on the species pictured. You can experience this folio for yourself here.
