Digitisation
Workshop
Digitisation Workshop
Program
This workshop explores the practicalities, pleasures
and pitfalls of digitising your heritage collections. It is
aimed at groups who are interested in do-it-yourself
approaches, and will focus on what resources and
skills are needed to produce consistent images of
heritage objects. The workshop features live
demonstrations of image capture on a variety of
equipment.
10:00 am - 10:30 am
The Making Museums Work: Digitisation Workshop is
presented by Arts Tasmania’s Roving Curators in
association with Museums Australia (Tasmania).
12:00 pm - 12:45 pm
The presenter – Daniel Wilksch
Daniel has worked at Public Record Office Victoria
(PROV) since 2000 in a variety of roles that have
included administering the Local History Grants
Program, developing online exhibitions, and speaking
on various aspects of managing small-to-medium
collections. Currently he manages PROV’s
digitisation program, highlights of which include the
recent website ‘Battle to Farm’ providing access to
the records of Victorian World War One soldier
settlers. He has a background in historical studies.
Arts Tasmania gratefully acknowledges PROV
