collaboration stands at the center not just for the project alone, but as for digital humanities as well as w whole. the overall success of the project was deemed on the internation partnerships with the museums in Brussels and London as well of the students from the university of Maryland, not to forget all the aiding parties of the university. The project also very clearly lists what each party of the work did and how they contributed, being that the museums offered their aid in providing the paintings, and each particular role the students played within this whole curation. this ties directly into Digital Humanities, being open and clear about who did what and embracing this idea of collaboration. brining back our goals for a second, for this ideology of preservation and restoration to happen, there was a level of expertise needed on all accounts. through collaboration this was able to happen to the highest of caliber.
