<div dir="ltr"><span>Hello,</span>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>At Point Ellice House we have undertaken a couple of digitization projects including large format art works and small format archival materials. Our archive is not anywhere close to being completely digitized but we are (slowly) getting through it.
<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) Digitization of our archival collections: We purchased an Epson Perfection V850 Pro scanner to do this work in-house. We have been picking away at it over the last 2 years. This is a small format scanner - but great for most images and documents.
<br>
</div>
<span>2) We have also digitized our large format artworks. We contracted out for this (to Coast Imaging)
<a href="https://coastimagingarts.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="0">
https://coastimagingarts.com/</a>. We worked cooperatively with Ernst to have these large artworks digitized on site and our staff was present to handle all of the art. He did a fantastic job and I highly recommend him.
<br>
</span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span>3) Our collection is owned by the province so our catalogue and digitized materials are uploaded to the Provincial Heritage Artifact Database which we have routed to through our website.
<br>
</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div><span>4) I recently put a proposal together for the province for digitization of other parts of our collection (sorted by object type: furniture, textiles, etc) and am happy to share a version of this if you think it might be helpful to piece together
a timeline for your project. <br>
</span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><span>We are looking at starting a larger digitization project on objects in the coming months so if I come across anything else that I think you all might find helpful, I will let you know!</span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span><br>
</span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span>Sincerely, <br>
</span></div>

<div> </div>

<div>
<div dir="ltr">Good Afternoon,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin is looking to digitize their collection of archives. I wanted to reach out and inquire with other organizations who may have gone through this process in the past and who can share some tips.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Did you digitize your entire collection of archives? What was the timeline?</div>
<div>Did you digitize in-house, or did you send your archives to a 3rd party to digitize the collection for you?</div>
<div>If you digitized in-house, what equipment did you use?</div>
<div>Once digitized, what software or program did you choose to host your archives for public access?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any insight is appreciated!</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
