Developing a Digitisation Project - 15th 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.
This workshop is now open to all digitisation projects.
