Tioga Historical Society
June 2026
The Tioga County Historical Society brought us in to scan a portion of its remarkable collection of artifacts tied to the history of Owego, NY. We produced ultra-high-resolution 3D scans of twenty-seven key pieces that had been locked away in the archive and brought them to an online audience, helping the Society raise funds for its museum’s new addition.
These delicate items demanded the utmost care. Many had been severely damaged in the 2011 flood that swept through much of the Susquehanna River valley in Tioga County. Hundreds of other irreplaceable artifacts were lost to the same flood, taking a piece of the region’s history with them.
By scanning these pieces, Zerilli-Behrens 3D captured their condition at a point in time and preserved them for generations to come. The scans are available to the public free of charge for education and enjoyment. Please consider donating to the Tioga County Historical Society to help preserve local history in Tioga County.
