JUST SCAN IT ALL! MAKING ARCHIVAL HOLDINGS AVAILABLE ONLINE
The Internet has opened up a wonderful world for making archival
holdings available online. Increasingly, researchers appreciate the
ability to search archival records and resources without leaving the
comfort of their home or office. Expectations are high - so how do we
ensure great results? Learn from award winners, Paul Maxner and Lois
Yorke of Nova Scotia Archives and Records Management who will guide
workshop participants through an interactive session examining key
principals for producing successful online virtual exhibits. This 1-day
workshop will explore issues around project design and management such
as identifying audiences and objectives; selecting themes and content;
determining equipment requirements; designing and managing the budget;
controlling production flow; anticipating crises. They will explain
technologies related to the capture, manipulation and production of
archival content online and take a detailed behind-the-scenes look at
the NSARM website.
The Online Resources Team responsible for the NSARM website was recently
awarded the 2006 Premier's Award of Excellence which recognizes
outstanding contributions or achievements, and is the highest honour of
the Nova Scotia Civil Service.
