Walter Richard Sickert prints and drawings in need of digitising
This week was pretty busy:
- More Arts Council bid work…
- Skype chat about how we can use tablets to improve the visitor experience
- Discussion of how the new website can support the learning team
- How we can take online bookings – hoping we can use shopify for the heavy lifting
- A visit to M Shed to see how we can combine a tablet and flat screen to enable interaction with our ‘contributing wrap’
- Got permission to spend some external grant money to purchase a portable audio recording setup
- Visited the Office of National Statistics to give a talk on how we deal with intellectual property, make digital media, and make use of a digital asset management system (DAM)
- Hosted the monthly Social Media South West meetup and gave a talk with Claire Royall called “Reasonable doubt – how the museum us getting social”
- Helped Paul Sullivan get blogging over at www.pauldsullivan.com which let me see that wordpress has some poor accessibility quirks
- Briefly joined Trevor and David discuss digitisation requirements for 2014 which includes digitising a bunch of Walter Richsrd Sickert and Bristol Suspension Bridge prints and drawings (see above photo)
- Chopped it up with Adam about the progress of the new website navigation
- Rolled the dice on budget requirements for 2014-2015
Next week I really hope I can find somebody to help us take online payments…
Thanks again for coming in and giving the talk – it was vey well received – particularly by my design team.
do you mind if I promote this on my twitter?
Go for it Brett Rossi!
