NEDCC Welcomes Tom Rieger as Director of Imaging Services

The Northeast Document Conservation Center is pleased to announce
that Tom Rieger will be joining the Center as Director of Imaging
Services. He will be responsible for leading the Center's
highly-regarded digital imaging department and managing its staff of
professional photographers.

Tom has gained a reputation as one of the most knowledgeable and
innovative experts in the field of digital imaging and has worked
with clients of all types, including the Library of Congress, NASA,
the National Park Service, the Smithsonian Institution, the National
Geographic Society, and the National Archives.

As a pioneer in the implementation of digital technologies in
commercial imaging, Tom served in various advisory roles for
technology companies and industry associations. He worked with Kodak
on the first commercial color management system, and collaborated
with many colleagues and companies on the development of new digital
imaging systems.

NEDCC's Digital Imaging studios feature a wide range of specialized
equipment and imaging platforms customized for the digitization of
historic and artistic materials. Tom will work closely with the
Center's skilled book and paper conservators on projects that
present challenging conservation issues, and he will confer with
clients to help evaluate their collections and develop digital
reformatting proposals and specifications.

Bill Veillette, NEDCC Executive Director comments:  "We're very
excited to have someone of Tom's experience and talents on our team.
With Tom's leadership, NEDCC will continue to develop additional
specialty services to meet the digital imaging needs of the library,
archive, museum, and cultural heritage communities."
