Victorian Collections Cataloguing Workshop (VIC-020212)

Thursday 2nd February 2012

The Victorian Collections cataloguing workshop is a complete day of training. There is a morning of basic collection management training and after lunch each attendee will photograph and catalogue an item from their organisation’s collection using the Victorian Collections system. Each organisation should aim to send at least 2 or 3 people to the training. This will spread the load of cataloguing, distribute the experience and make cataloguing an easier and more pleasant experience. Please bring a collection item for each person attending the training.
