http://www.hatii.arts.gla.ac.uk/DigiSS00/
Following the great success of the 1998 and 1999 Glasgow Digitisation
Summer Schools, the Humanities Advanced Technology and Information
Institute (HATII) is pleased to announce the third annual international
Digitisation Summer School, 3-8 July 2000.
This course, designed for archive, library and museum professionals,
delivers skills, principles, and best practice in the digitisation of
primary textual and images resources with strong emphasis on interactive
seminars and practical exercises. With expert guidance, you will examine
the advantages of developing digital collections of heritage materials and
investigate issues involved in creating, curating, and managing access to
such collections.
The lectures will be supplemented by seminars and practical exercises. In
these, participants will apply the practical experience of digitisation
across a range of printed, image (photographic or slide), manuscript, or
map material. The focus will be on working with primary source material.
The course will visit the Glasgow University Library Special Collections
and the University Archives. The detailed programme is available at the
HATII website--http://www.hatii.arts.gla.ac.uk/DigiSS00/
