Victorian Collections Training Workshop – Upper Yarra Community House

Victorian Collections is a new free, easy to use, online cataloguing system that is available to collecting organisations throughout Victoria, including RSLs and military heritage groups.
Over the coming months workshops for volunteers to learn this cataloguing system will be held across Victoria – in Melbourne, Sale, Bright, Port Fairy, Warrnambool, St Arnaud and Mt Helen.

Victorian Collections is a free, easy to use, online cataloguing system that is available to all types of collecting organisations throughout Victoria.

The Victorian Collections cataloguing workshop is a complete day of training from 10am Р4pm. 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 session.

Training is provided by Peta Knott, Project Manager for Victorian Collections, MA (Vic)

Morning tea and lunch will be provided. Please advise of any dietary requirements when booking.

Workshops are free however places are strictly limited.

In return for this free training, your organisation is requested to complete cataloguing of 20 items on the Victorian Collections system within 6 months of your training session.
