Providing online access to digitised archival collections is fast becoming an integral part of the work of any collecting institution, but it can also pose a number of challenges for archivists in terms of resources, skills and balancing shifting priorities. This seminar will provide the opportunity to hear from four archival practitioners about some of their strategies and approaches to publishing archival material to online platforms. The presentations will be followed by a panel discussion to explore a bit further aspects such as funding, planning and project management, and technology and collaboration.
Niamh Brennan from Donegal County Council Archives will be providing insight into the archives’ strategies for digitisation and access.
Jonny Dillon from the National Folklore Collection will outline www.Dúchas.ie, a collaborative project between the National Folklore Collection, UCD and Fiontar & Scoil na Gaeilge, DCU to digitise the manuscript, photographic and audio materials of the National Folklore Collection.
Ellen Murphy from the Registry of Deeds will talk about a collaborative digital project with National Records Scotland and Trinity College Dublin to explore new ways of providing online access to property records.
Liam Wylie from RTÉ Archives will discuss approaches to publishing content from RTÉ’s expansive audio-visual collections.
