"Imago Christi," a Shroud Interest Group

This is the home page of the "Imago Christi" Shroud Interest Group, founded by Art Historian and Sindonologist, Michelina M. LeMargie, Ph.D., to "research, study, and disseminate" information concerning the relic known as the Shroud of Turin. Imago Christi exists "for artistic, educational, and scientific purposes."

The site features a color photograph of a painted Shroud copy dated 1516 and attributed to Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), which indicates that the Shroud had been through a fire at some time prior to the Chambéry fire of 1532.

Interferometry Experiments On The Shroud Facial Image

This personal website is the work of Robert Doumax, a French researcher and programmer who has designed some basic interferometry experiments with the Shroud image and put them online. This interactive website is presented in both French and English and its clever design allows viewers to manipulate the image themselves. Although it is uncertain whether any significant new Shroud information can be obtained from this experiment, it does present a rather unique look at the image properties. Perhaps some qualified researchers can provide their opinions or make suggestions for further studies. Robert also adds his apologies since this is a free hosted website and it necessarily includes advertisements.

Ion Science Explains the Enduring Mysteries of the Shroud of Turin

This recent article by Guy Cramer is prefaced with a timeline of recent Shroud research designed to provide "scientific background" on the Shroud. As such, it does include valuable references to many recently published scientific papers.

The Remarkable Metrological History of Radiocarbon Dating

Ray Rogers sent the following e-mail to the Yahoo Shroud Science Group in early 2005, recommending this paper:

"Lloyd Currie of NIST sent me a copy of his paper from J. Res. Natl. Inst. Technol. 109, 2, Mar-Apr 2004. This is beyond doubt the best and most meticulous paper I have seen on modern radiocarbon work. It includes the bristlecone calibration and more facts than most Shroud researchers need. It also includes a discussion on the Shroud. I recommend it highly."
As is to be expected, it may be a bit complex for the layman, but Ray's recommendation certainly makes it worthwhile.

Shroud of Turin Education Project Website Updated!

This is a link to the website of Russ Breault's Shroud organization. The purpose of the Shroud of Turin Education Project (STEP) is to raise awareness of the Shroud among students from high school to college and beyond. It is the goal of STEP, through lectures, videos, and the website to motivate formal independent research, promote personal inquiry and investigation, encourage the use of science in the quest of religious meaning and stimulate reflection on its philosophical and religious implications.

Russ has recently expanded the scope of The Shroud of Turin Education Project, Inc. by launching two new websites. The first is www.ShroudEncounter.com which offers information on what he does as a lecturer on the subject. The second is www.ShroudUniversity.com and is dedicated to helping students research the topic and provides ideas on how to incorporate the Shroud into a research paper, presentation, speech or project. Shroud University breaks the subject down into TEN schools of academic study. The most important feature of the new site is that it makes extensive use of new digital media including streaming video, audio, podcasts, PowerPoint slides and more. The inaugural podcast features Rex Morgan's keynote address from the 2001 Dallas conference. The site links extensively to Shroud.com, Shroudstory.com and many other sites on the web where good references can be found. The Library is dedicated to the late Albert "Kim" Dreisbach.

If you are an educator and are interested in how you might integrate the study of the Shroud of Turin into your lesson plan or, if you are a student with the goal of writing a report on the Shroud, you should visit these recently updated and redesigned website for ideas. Russ even includes a long list of possible topics for Shroud research projects.

In March of 2005 Russ announced that several new streaming videos of interviews with Shroud researchers were available on his website. There are now many more videos added, along with streaming audio and mp3 files. You can find these videos at www.shroud2000.com/streamingvideos.html and more interviews are planned for the future.

Kilmon states, "The illustration not only depicts the unique "L" pattern of burn holes but also the unique weave pattern of the shroud. There can be no mistake that the Pray Manuscript of 1192 was modeled from the Shroud of Turin." Also included is a link to Mr. Kilmon's artistic interpretation of the Shroud image based on a Shroud photograph: "The Face of the Man in the Shroud."

Le Suaire et la Science (en française)

This link is to the excellent French language website of Dr. Thibault Heimburger. He describes it as follows:

This new site in the French language was created by a doctor and presents a thorough analysis of the whole of the scientific data on the shroud of Turin. It includes an objective as possible detailed analysis and is based on the most serious sources available (in particular, the work of Raymond N. Rogers) and it proposes an analysis, a contradictory discussion and a synthesis. The principal chapters relate to the dating with carbon-14, the physicochemical analysis of the image, the bloodstains and the McCrone controversy, the optical and geometrical properties of the image and theories on the formation of the image. It also integrates a presentation and a thorough discussion of the last capital discoveries of Rogers on the non-validity of the sample taken for the radiocarbon dating. The conclusion of the author is in favour of the strong probability of the authenticity of the shroud but the reader will be able to form his own opinion, which is the ultimate goal of this site.

Ce nouveau site, créé par un médecin français de formation scientifique, propose une analyse approfondie de l’ensemble des données scientifiques sur le suaire de Turin en langue française. La plupart des sites en langue française proposent des affirmations non vérifiables. Au contraire on trouvera pour la première fois sur ce site une analyse détaillée et aussi objective que possible, au plus près des sources disponibles. Il s’appuie sur les sources les plus sérieuses disponibles (en particulier les travaux de Raymond N.Rogers) et en propose une analyse, une discussion contradictoire et une synthèse. Les principaux chapitres concernent la datation au carbone 14, l’analyse physico-chimique de l’image, des taches de sang et la controverse Mc Crone, les propriétés optiques et géométriques de l’image et les théories sur la formation de l’image. Il intègre aussi une présentation et une discussion approfondie des dernières découvertes capitales de Rogers sur la non-validité de l’échantillon prélevé pour la datation au carbone 14. La conclusion de l’auteur est en faveur de la forte probabilité de l’authenticité du suaire mais le lecteur pourra se faire sa propre opinion, ce qui est le but ultime de ce site.
