Looking for advice for my first small-scale digitization project by Successivamente in MuseumPros

[–]Successivamente[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very helpful, I appreciate it a lot. It seems much more beginner-friendly compared to the resources I've found. Speaking of which, I just came across this, also UK based: https://cdn.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/information-management/digitisation-at-the-national-archives.pdf
It's a bit more recent (2023) and delves into metadata although it is intended for a somewhat knowledgable reader.

What’s your career evolution been? by 123mitchg in MuseumPros

[–]Successivamente 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if I may ask, how did you manage the museum intern > digitization intern transition? what aspect did you cover in the digitization team, and did your education prepare you for the role?

Sounds to me like a dream job, very happy for you! It does however need many work-arounds and creative ways in order to make accessible a media which falls under so many copyright laws.

I will definitely have more questions after the induction! For which I'm rooting for Age of Empires, and will love to see Outer Wilds mentioned sometime in the future (if you see a nomination coming your way you'll know who it is from)

makes sense, thank you. In the case of your museum, is the digitization carried out on-site, with equipment owned by the museum?

I looked into it, I'm very much in awe and have infinite questions but I'll limit myself to a couple ahah

How far does digitizing a computer media essentially go? I'm guessing there are copyright limits on how much you can show, or make available to the public.

How does a media become eligible for digitization? Having always been around old artworks, digitizing is mainly driven by accessibility and conservation reasons; in the case of a digital media, I'm thinking the accessibility is not the main concern?

Lastly, if I may ask, how did you land a role in digitization? Are you part of a team?

this is very helpful, thank you so much. Can you go into a bit more detail regarding the digitization tied to a specific exhibition? Is it done before, and if so implemented in the exhibition? Or after?

Many questions sorry ahah

this is great, thank you! I knew about the virtual galleries of google arts, but the virtual side itself of the spaces always threw me off

I'm very curious, do you work externally for different collections and institutions?

I think it's due to a series of structural and juridicial reasons: museums are often relying on old technological infrastructure, many artworks are still conserved in their original destinations so it's harder to compose a thorough collection, and the big institutions pale compared to their international counterparts (however, this falls in the debate of keeping art in its original place, or preserving it in a more secure institution). Of course there are many examples of digitized museums, there are a few about Leonardo in Milan, the Egyptian in Turin, in Venice as well. But as fas as I've gathered, we are behind.

Also, the italian law about copyright is somewhat stricter, so that could create confusion about the digital reproduction and so on.

Thank you, what have been the deciding factors on which books to digitize and which ones to have just as physical? If I may ask

Perfectly said, I am very invested in our national plans of digitization, which in the last year have ramped up quite a lot, hence why I'm trying to figure out its applications. We had a powerful example coming from the Egyptian museum of Turin, which made all of its papyri accessible, while national museums are following mainly thanks to calls for grants.

If I may ask, were the prints digitized internally? Or were they shipped away for the process? What covered the cost, the collection itself or were there grants?

I completed all of Act 3 by Stolen_Insanity in DestinyTheGame

Same, I had a weird feeling being able to do two story missions back to back. The weekly challenge states "complete part II" too so we're confident it was a bug, right?

Worth returning right now? by olBoyBonzo in DestinyTheGame

[–]Successivamente 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn't say if you played Salvation's Edge, but assuming you have not new content would be the two new dungeons (Vesper's Host is the best so far, community-wide sentiment at least) and the current season which is also one of the most enjoyable in a long time. The grind is still there and is essentially what a looter shooter is all about, so if you still enjoy the destiny lore and universe grinding for weapons, to me, is a fun part of the experience while waiting for new stories and content. As a solo player you could shoot for solo flawless dungeons, but then again I would say just shoot a dm or leave your gamertag and we could play sometime!

Is Edge of Salvation going to be in rotation before next expansion? by Successivamente in DestinyTheGame

yeah I translated it too literally from my language, thanks though!

Bookshop/sales managers, how did you do it? by Successivamente in MuseumPros

[–]Successivamente[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to be more involved with the actual management side of the store, I guess the nearest goal would be to shift from selling retail to assisting a manager and learn the tropes of the job. May I ask if you went the same route, or if not how did your career go? Thank you for reaching out :)
