A new project currently underway at the Lakes History Centre is the digitisation of documents including maps, manuscripts, records and books.
We purchased a book scanner and new computer with a welcome grant through the Australian Museums & Galleries Association’s CHART program, which is funded by the Australian Government to reactivate heritage and cultural groups to recover their momentum following Covid-19 and the bushfires.
Our volunteers had fun learning how to use the equipment – quite a few practice runs being required before we could get stuck into the treasures in the collection.
