Amazing work. I'm also interested in digitizing artifacts and historic places, but haven't been able to figure out how to go about getting a project off the ground.

Any chance you'd do a write up explaining how you were able to get this project set up? I'm more interested in the logistics and the red-tape you had to go through in order to get access to do the scans. I see you've got a business setup around it as well, are you hiring? The jobs page leads to the blog right now.
