Updated STiCH Carbon Calculator

The FAIC's STiCH Project Team has launched a refined and expanded STiCH Carbon Calculator (https://stich.culturalheritage.org) featuring updated materials, ability to assess the impact of scenarios utilizing multiple materials, and result graphs for data visualization. We invite you to explore the newest features and functions. 

This project is the culmination of the work of the project team, including myself (PI), Matthew Eckelman (PI), Henry McGhie, Sarah Sutton, Shiori Oki, Melissa Amundsen, Rachel Danzing, Mithravinda Kalpetta Gramathil, Kim Kraczon, Matt Morgan, and Céline Wachsmuth. We're also grateful to the many participants in our user experience studies whose feedback helped shape the new improvements. This work was made possible in part by a 2023 NEH Digital Humanities Advancement Grant (which was terminated after completion of the calculator revisions). 

STiCH sits at the intersection of science, art, history, and the humanistic qualities of changing behavior to address the climate crisis. In alignment with AIC and FAIC's Held in Trust goals, STiCH  provides conservation and heritage professionals a science-based educational tool to reduce their carbon footprint in their everyday work.
