Conference overview:
Many cultural and heritage organisations have benefited from substantial national funding for digitisation projects. As projects draw to a close, they face a common problem: sustainability.
To reflect the importance of this problem, we have brought together a team of eminent speakers. They will address the key issue of how to attain sustainability of digitisation and similar projects.
The conference provides an opportunity to:
* review the financial and technical problems of sustainability;
* share experiences and solutions with major organisations at regional, national and international levels;
* identify areas of potential income;
* network with those experiencing the same issues.
Who should attend:
The conference will be relevant to all in receipt of, or bidding for, project funding; managers of cultural and heritage organisations; project managers; project leaders; technical staff and fund raisers.
Early booking is recommended as a high level of interest is anticipated.
Speakers:
The speakers are: Chris Anderson (Head of Programmes for Digitisation, Big
Lottery Fund (NOF))
Chris Batt (Chief Executive, MLA: Museums, Libraries and Archive Council)
EUCLID UK (to be confirmed)
Tim Badman (World Heritage Sites)
Liz Lyon (Director, UKOLN: UK Office for Library and Information Networking)
Phil Gibby (Director, Arts and Business South West)
Representatives from HLF (Heritage Lottery Fund) and SWMLAC (South West Museums, Libraries and Archives) will also be present and will answer any questions relating to their activities.
The sessions will be chaired by David Ball, University Librarian at Bournemouth University. There will be time allowed for discussion and questions.
