dc.description.abstractFor the purposes of this paper, we will be discussing and presenting workflow related to the textile digitization processes for the upcoming Merdeka Textile Museum (MTM), Malaysia. This collection of textiles is part of the personal collection of the late Sharifah Azah Syed Mohammad Alsagoff or fondly known as Azah Aziz who is renowned for championing knowledge of Malay textiles and costumes. These textiles date back to the 1900s and continue into the 2000s, some of which are fragile and decaying due to age and natural conditions. All textiles gathered are of those associated with the Malay world, which employ a variety of production methods such as weaving, embroidery and printing on cotton, silk and other materials in their creation. Taking into consideration the fragility and intricacy of these textiles, parts of the digitization process are impacted because they present a variety of challenges, for instance, the reflective nature of the golden yarn under direct light source. Our paper presentation will cover the workflow, beginning with the handling of the textiles and continuing through to the lighting and camera setup. We will discuss the technical decisions that we made to use the Sony camera for the Pixel Shift Multi Shooting techniques. In addition, the paper will also discuss the post-processing works that were performed on the files that were generated in order to get them ready for archiving, both online and offline as part of the digital heritage preservation causes in collaboration with MTM. The museum, which is a project of the subsidiary of Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) known as PNB Merdeka Ventures Sdn. Bhd. will house 240 pieces of textiles and costumes, along with 69 pieces of jewelry that belonged to Azah Aziz. Through this collection as well as references to traditional Malay literature, the MTM will offer a distinctive curatorial perspective on textiles from around the world that are of Malay origin for public knowledge and consumption as part of its efforts to promote and preserve Malay culture and heritage.en_US
