3D Digital Collections
These objects highlight meaningful stories to help us learn more about the complicated history and legacy of race and racism while also humanizing the stories that have helped build a more equitable shared future.
About 3D Digital Collections
Our Shared Future: Reckoning with Our Racial Past is engaged in a multi-year collaboration with the Smithsonian’s Digitization Program Office. With support provided by our Leadership Sponsor, Verizon, we are creating high fidelity 3D scans of physical collections centered around race, history, and culture.
The Smithsonian's goal is to make our historic collections accessible to the public and give a behind-the-scenes look at the 3D process of digitizing the Smithsonian’s collections.

Our 3D objects are organized by six thematic pillars that can help us understand the past to build a better future. Learn how to view each 3D object's story with the Voyager 3D viewer.
