Paul Collart and the Temple of Baalshamin in Palmyra
The goal of the "Collart-Palmyre" project was to create a digital archive of the Temple of Baalshamin (photos, documents, notes, letters, notebooks, drawings, etc.). The archives were left to the Faculty of Letters at the University of Lausanne (Institute of Archeology and the Science of Antiquity, ASA-UNIL) by the descendants of Paul Collart.
These archival materials made it possible to create a 3-D model of this Syrian temple that was destroyed in 2015. The goal of the project was to make use of a part of the unused archives related to the Temple of Baalshamin, located just north of the ancient city of Palmyra.
