Mae Amelia yn arbenigo mewn Astudiaethau Amgueddfeydd a Threftadaeth Ddigidol ac mae ei hymarfer a’i gwaith ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar ddefnyddio technoleg ddigidol mewn sefydliadau creadigol a diwylliannol, yn arbennig felly amgueddfeydd. Mae gan Amelia dros 10 mlynedd o brofiad o weithio gyda/ar ran amgueddfeydd lleol a chenedlaethol, a hynny fel curadur a hefyd trwy gyfrwng ei chwmni ‘Curator – Designer – Maker’. Fel ymarferydd creadigol, mae ganddi brofiad blaenorol a helaeth o ddatblygu arddangosfeydd rhyngweithiol ffisegol, ymgynghori ynghylch defnyddio a gweithredu technoleg, a chyflwyno hyfforddiant i weithwyr proffesiynol mewn amgueddfeydd yn ymwneud â defnyddio a chymhwyso technoleg 3D a’r goblygiadau sydd ynghlwm wrth y dechnoleg honno.
Mae Amelia wedi gweithio gydag amgueddfeydd a sefydliadau diwylliannol, yn cynnwys Eglwys Gadeiriol Caerloyw, Amgueddfa Prydain, English Heritage, Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums, Dinas Diwylliant Hull ac Amgueddfeydd Sheffield. Mae hi’n parhau i gynorthwyo sefydliadau diwylliannol gyda hyfforddiant digidol, strategaethau digidol a gweithredu ac arbrofi gyda sganio ac argraffu 3D a realiti rhithwir ac estynedig.
Cred Amelia y dylai technoleg ddigidol fod yn hygyrch i bawb, ac mae’n rhoi defnyddwyr technoleg wrth galon a chraidd popeth a wna. Mae creu, chwarae ac ymarfer yn gwbl sylfaenol i’w gwaith ymarferol a strategol.

In this Reflect, Share, Inspire ‘workshop style’ breakout session, Dr Amelia Knowlson and Dr Ruth Daly from the University of Leeds explore the importance of embedding a digital strategy within your heritage organisation to help you support and achieve your organisational goals. Drawing upon resources from the Digital Heritage Hub’s Digital Leadership and Digital Planning themes, they guide delegates through a series of tasks to help you to start thinking about how to embed digital within your organisation.

As 3D scanners and printers become more affordable, 3D modelling may increasingly be considered as a part of your heritage organisation’s digital strategy. This guide reviews key policy areas on the use and dissemination of digital assets including implications of intellectual property (IP). It also discusses the key aspects to consider when thinking about creating 3D models of your collection.

This guide focuses on three approaches to digital transformation and what they can mean for your heritage organisation. Case studies explore how other organisations have embraced digital transformation, their experiences and the strategic pathways they have taken to change how they engage with their audiences.

Using templates to create your digital strategy will help you work through a set of diagnostic questions that indicates your organisation’s recommended priority areas along with relevant performance indicators to guide you through digital transformation.

Employing digital strategists to guide you through the unfamiliar landscape of developing a digital strategy can have its benefits. However, making the most of expertise within your organisation can often be as effective as bringing in outside assistance. This resource guides you through the initial steps of planning your digital strategy to help you identify where digital expertise may be of benefit.
