In June 2005 Texas Tech University, the University of California at Berkeley, CyArk, and INSIGHT Digital undertook a research project in collaboration with the National Park Service to better understand how digital documentation could assist conservation activities at Mesa Verde National Park. Several archaeological sites at the park were documented as well as several artifacts housed in the site museum to demonstrate the advantages and capabilities of high definition survey and documentation. The project was funded by the Kacyra Family Foundation.
