Digitally Preserving Our Churches On To The Next 500 Years

Digital Preservation

Digital documentation entails a non-intrusive physical and “as-built” documentation. It uses modern technology and utilizes hardwares like cameras, total system (3D scanners) and alike. Combined with modern software, even mobile phone cameras can be used in generating digital documentation. These digital documentation are mostly under the field of photogrammetry and 3D scanning.

Digital documentation will lead to digital preservation or record of the church for the time it was scanned. The output also serves as an “as-built” plan or digital blue print for church which can be used as a technical guide for any work needed to be done or as a basis of what changes happened to the church.

Join us! Let’s work together in making sure we preserve our churches for the next 500 years!

Task on Hand

We want to digitally preserve all heritage churches in the country by year 2021, the 500th year of Catholicism in the Philippines. With a digital scan, we can preserve those churches for the next 500 years.

Adopt -a- Church

This humungous task will require support from everyone including communities affiliated to a specific heritage church. Let us group together and adopt-a-church for us to make sure that we have a digital scan.

Capability Building

The process of digitally recording a church takes technical skill. Part of the trust is to build capability so we have more people capable of handling this task.
