This looks like such a fantastic programme that I wish the date had been 
announced sooner- my respectful apologies if it was and I just missed it, 
but 10 days is just not enough notice to rearrange my work schedule for, 
unfortunately.

I hope everyone that attends has a great time and I'll look forward to all 
the reports back!

*** MCG Spring Meeting ***

Taking the cultural heritage of the city of Bath as its centre point, our 
spring meeting will this year explore the challenges of using digital media 
within iconic historic sites and subjects.

Led by the city’s heritage team, but with contributions from the National 
Trust, Historic Royal Palaces, the Royal Shakespeare Company and the 
University of Bath we will look at the ways digital media is being used 
within historic buildings, in managing historic collections and in 
communicating this history online.

And, as ever for our meetings, the day will offer a number of ‘databursts’ 
for members to update each other through 5-minute ‘mini presentations’.

The main sessions of the day will take place in Aix en Provence Room at the 
Guildhall
http://www.bathvenues.co.uk/guildhall.aspx)
and will conclude with a tour and walking discussion with staff around the 
Roman Baths, Museum and Pump Room.


PROGRAMME

10.00-10.30
Registration and coffee

10.30-10.45
Ross Parry (MCG Chair)
Stephen Clews (Manager of the Roman Baths & Pump Room and Heritage Services 
Public Services Team Leader)
A welcome and introduction to Bath’s digital heritage offer.

10.45-11.30
Susan Fox (Collections Manager) and Helen Daniels (Collections Assistant, 
Victoria Art Gallery) Roman Baths, Museum and Pump Room Heritage Services.
The collections team will share their approaches to placing collections 
online, as well as using a range of interpretive media (projections, CGIs, 
audio guides, touchscreens) within city’s museum and heritage sites.

11.30-11.45 Coffee

11.45-1.00
Helen Harmon (Collections Assistant, Roman Baths Museum & Pump Room) and 
Katie Smith (Visitor Services Manager, Heritage Services, Bath & North East 
Somerset Council) and Brian Kelly (UK Web Focus, UKOLN)
The discussion will then frankly and constructively focus upon some of the 
challenges and obstacles (practical, technical, political) that confront the 
Heritage Services team as they continue with their roll-out of digital 
content and provision. Then, by way of a practical and supportive response 
to all of the morning’s presentations, UKOLN (the Bath-based research 
organisation that informs practice in the area of information systems and 
web technologies) will then reflect upon the challenges described, and offer 
a way of thinking about a ‘risks and opportunities framework’ for Bath and 
for digital heritage more generally.

1.00-1.45 Buffet lunch (Brunswick Room, Guildhall) 
http://www.bathvenues.co.uk/guildhall/brunswick_room.aspx

1.45-2.45
Databursts

2.50-4.00
Michaela Rogers (Web Marketing and Development and Manager) and Tim Powell 
(Press Officer - New Audiences) Historic Royal Palaces
The HRP will share the detail and aims of their new Web 2.0 strategy, and 
explain the role that online media play in the positioning and public 
provision of their iconic historic sites.

John Benfield, Head of New Media, Royal Shakespeare Company.
Turning to another historical icon, this presentation will provide an 
insight into how the RSC is using (and planning to us) digital media to 
interpret, communicate and disseminate the heritage of Shakespeare and 
Stratford-upon-Avon.

Felicity Baber and Simon Harris (National Trust)
The National Trust has always had inventories for the chattels or 
collections held at its properties. In recent years the Collections 
Management Project has been happening all over the country, to capture 
electronic records and digital images of every item in the care of the 
National Trust, working across staffed and tenanted properties. The project 
is required to provide the means to determine the scope of the Collection 
owned by the National Trust as a whole, and thereby manage and protect our 
collection more effectively. This presentation will examine the challenges 
involved with photographing and cataloguing collections in room settings, 
sometimes in properties where people actually live in the rooms.

4.00-4.15 Tea

4.15-5.00
Brief tour and walking discussion around the Baths and Pump Rooms led by 
Roman Baths, Museum and Pump Room staff.

5.00 End of meeting
