Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlberto Campagnolo is an Assistant Professor and book heritage specialist with 14 years of experience fusing traditional conservation practice and digital humanities methods to study the materiality of books and bindings. Trained as a book conservator in Italy and holder of a PhD in Digital Humanities, he has worked at institutions from the Vatican Library and St. Catherine’s Monastery to the Library of Congress, where he held a CLIR postdoctoral fellowship in data curation for medieval studies. He co-developed VisColl, a notable model and tool for recording and visualizing gathering structures in codices, and has led semantic-mapping projects that translate experts’ tacit knowledge of bindings into machine-actionable representations. At KU Leuven he directs the Book Heritage Lab and teaches book archaeology, while maintaining hands-on multispectral imaging and digitization collaborations across Europe and the US. His profile blends deep craft knowledge with computational approaches—an uncommon combination that speeds up provenance and dating research without losing attention to material detail.
