RunCoCo project blog
This blog is written by the RunCoCo project team who encourage the formation of community collections with training activities. In community collection projects the cost of digitising photographs or films or interviews is spread out across the community (education and public sectors) and not borne entirely by the host institution. RunCoCo will demonstrate how successful collections can be put together by smaller individual units than the expensive digitisation projects that receive funding from traditional (and now severely reduced) sources.
