drysdale history collection
TRANSCRIPT
The history collection is 4 packed shelves full of boxes containing photos, slides, albums, menus, staff newsletters, programs, student brochures, film, fabrics and newspaper clippings
There are photos and newspaper clippings from 1969 onwards
Currently the aim is simply to maintain, protect and preserve the collection.
Then organise.
Then scan and digitise.
Some photos have already been digitised. A dedicated Flickr account has been set up to store these photos.
Photos and papers are protected by acid free polypropylene sleeves and photo albums.
These sleeves are recommended for archival purposes.
Many photos have been removed from ‘Magnetic’ photo albums and pvc plastic sheathes.
Unfortunately, many more photos are trapped behind contact covered pages and cannot be easily removed without damaging the photo.
There are options for sharing and displaying the photos in the future once copyright issues can be resolved.
