About this event

This practical workshop is intended for those who wish to learn how to digitise paper documents or images, whether for their own research or teaching, to help share content more widely or to help protect fragile originals. The session includes a practical session on how to use a digital SLR (single lens reflex) camera or alternatively an inexpensive point-and-shoot camera to digitise documents. We will cover copyright & permissions, archival handling, image quality, image formats and colour correction.
