The D-Word: tips and tricks for digitising library and archive collections

MLAG Conference 2015 #mlag15

Friday 24th April 2015

Wellcome Collection Conference Centre, 183 Euston Road, London NW1 2BE

This one-day conference is organised by MLAG (Museum Librarians and

Archivists Group) http://www.mlagblog.org/, a network of archivists

and librarians working in museums and galleries throughout the UK.

Providing online access to library and archive collections has never

been more important for promoting and increasing awareness to our hidden

treasures.  At this conference we want to explore:

* how museums and art galleries can start the digitisation process and

demystify the often complex world of digitisation, no matter what your

budget

* case studies from museums and art galleries who have begun digitising

their collections, and highlight particular areas of interest or

successes in these projects

The conference will include presentations, poster sessions and a panel

discussion as well as tours of the Internet Archive digitisation suite

(numbers for the tours are strictly limited and must be booked in advance).

Tickets are priced at £15 and all are welcome, please see the link below
