Archives <https://vraweb.org/opportunities/regional-workshops/>

August 25th (IN-PERSON WORKSHOP)

George Eastman Museum (Rochester, NY)

9:30-5 pm ET

Instructor: Elizabeth Chiang

Limited to 20 participants; $125 registration fee


Workshop Description:
Digitization, by us, for us. This workshop is geared towards community
archives, kinfolk historians, and small groups, particularly those who want
to leverage digitization as a means of sharing and preserving community
history.

*In this workshop, we will discuss:*

   - Cost-effective and open-source software and technologies for
   digitization projects
   - How to navigate small spaces, for physical workspaces and digital
   storage space
   - Best practices for digitization, including examples of scalable
   workflows
   - How to balance these workflows against limitations of time, budget and
   space
   - Resource pooling and how this can help achieve unexpected goals

*This workshop will also include:*
Demonstrations about material handling and object storage. Participants
will work with different types of housings and enclosures that may be
encountered during digitization. Attendees will take home a sample starter
kit of archival enclosures. Participants will have the opportunity to
digitize an item in their own collections*. High-resolution image files
will be emailed to each participant after the workshop.
