Getting your heritage organisation’s collection online can be a daunting challenge. But as Kevin Gosling from the Collections Trust explains in this webinar recording, online collections have many of the same management issues as physical collections. Careful planning and rigorous documentation is needed if you want to get the raw material of your real objects collection digitised and online.
In this webinar recording Kevin Gosling from the Collections Trust looks at Spectrum guidance on using collections and thinking about how you might turn this into a well-oiled workflow in your organisation. He provides tips for working with multiple versions of images and other digital assets. Kevin also explores how to create your online content as efficiently as possible, not least so that it can be re-used for other projects in the future.
