Archive Digitisation

Overview

This project will catalogue and digitise the Callander Heritage Society’s archive of photographs, postcards and documents. The digital material will be made available for all to acess on a bespoke website, which will be managed by the Society. A group of local volunteers will be trained in data recording and IT skills to help support the ongoing management of the archive.

This project will:

• Catalogue and digitise the Callander Heritage Society’s archive;

• Permanently rehome the physical archive;
• Train a group of local volunteers in data recording and IT skills.
