Developing a Digitisation Project - 4th May 2006 
This workshop has now taken place.
A further workshop for AHRC award winners will be held in November 2006.
Developing a Digitisation Project gives those commencing or running a digital project valuable advice on the issues that require consideration during a project's lifespan, whether developing digital material for research purposes, or creating an online resource. Expert speakers from the AHDS will guide delegates through key themes such as workflow, contingency planning, developing websites and preserving resources.
As well as round-table advice sessions, there will be presentations from projects currently in progress, recounting their experiences of running digital projects. The day will also give the opportunity for project to meet others working in a similar situation.
Booking is currently reserved for those receiving or about to receive AHRC Research Grants or AHRC Resource Enhancement grants. Some spaces may be made available to other interested delegates in mid-April.
Location
The workshop will be held 4th May 2006 at Birkbeck College, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HX. A map to Birkbeck College is available on their website.
