Bringing Frederick Bailey Deeming back to life:
digitising, preserving, and reinterpreting collections
to engage with new audiences
Join Daniel Wilksch, the Public Records Office Victoria Manager of Online Projects,
for a fun and insightful view on how one organisation has taken key parts of its
print collection online and made them more accessible to new audiences.
Using examples such as the recently launched website exhibition on
Frederick Bailey Deeming, hanged at the Melbourne Gaol in 1892, Daniel will discuss
the strategies, processes, and technology Public Records Office Victoria
has used to bring one dead man back to life.
Daniel will also talk about the role PROV is playing in developing and
promoting the Victorian Electronic Records Strategy (VERS).
About Daniel Wilksch
In addition to being the Manager of Online Projects for Public Records Office Victoria,
