Capture your collections - A digitisation course for remote and regional museums and galleries
This online course will guide you through the process of digitising your collection; from planning and budgeting through to implementing your digital project. The course is freely available to those working in the Australian cultural sector.
This online training course has been specially designed to help volunteers, curators and managers working in regional, local and specialist museums, to better manage the process of image digitisation. The course was developed collaboratively by the Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN) and Australian Museums and Galleries Online (AMOL) now called Collections Australia Network (CAN). This collaboration evolved from an understanding that small museums and galleries, in both countries, face many similar management, technology, training and funding challenges.
The online course is divided into 9 modules each of which will take between 15 minutes and two hours to complete. Ideally these modules and their exercises should be undertaken one at a time, over a period of a week or two. You can if you wish study the modules consecutively in the order provided, or retrieve them individually. You can also use the course planner in the resources section which will suggest appropriate modules to you depending on your particular needs. In addition, the course includes a glossary, relevant links page and bibliography. Because standards, technologies and best practise are all constantly evolving, the course will be updated from time to time, however if you have any suggestions, comments or criticisms please feel free to forward these to outreach@collectionsaustralia.net or service@chin.gc.ca
