Life After Digitisation: Future-Proofing WA's Vulnerable Cultural Heritage. This project aims to do the following: 1. digitise significant cultural collections held across Western Australia, including Aboriginal languages, the WA performing arts collection, and selected objects of significance from across the State. 2. develop world-leading post-digitisation socialisation processes for the storage, management and dissemination of these collections. The project's significance lies in the preservation of the collections and the development of sustainable access protocols for the collection owners. Expected outcomes include digital preservation of the collections, plus new protocols and procedures for their digitisation and dissemination. Benefits include preservation of, and systems for access to, these collections. . Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 1904 - Performing Arts and Creative Writing. Lead: Prof Helena Grehan
