Online exhibitions can offer an alternative to archives/library displays, but how easy are they to create? This introductory workshop provides a practical guide to using tools and creating e-resources. Discussions cover ideas, planning methods, and workflow process, giving participants the know how to set up/design large or small virtual exhibitions.
During this workshop you’ll:
- Learn how to create an online exhibition that follows best standards and practices and that presents your collections in the best way possible;
- Learn how to conceptualize an online exhibition and write compelling proposals for it;
- Understand best website design principles and practices;
- Gain knowledge of project management tools with practical, hands-on group exercises;
- Become acquainted with the technical skills behind website architecture and how specific elements function; and
- Recognize the differences among an online exhibition, an online educational resource, and a basic website.
Who should attend? Archivists and special collections staff faced with the challenge of creating online content with limited technical experience, technical support, and resources. Managers and other archives staff responsible for outreach, public relations, or archival education seeking some practical skills and advice on ways to (virtually) engage students and staff in special collections and archives material.
Attendance is limited to 35.
