Workshop

Workshop on Digital Cultural Heritage Preservation

Introduction to Mukurtu CMS

Two sessions (participants must choose one or the other)

  • Friday, February 2, 8:30 AM-3:30 PM
  • Saturday, February 3, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Note: due to overwhelming interest in the Mukurtu CMS we have restructured the workshop to offer two separate one-day Mukurtu sessions rather than a single two-day workshop. Participant may attend only one of these session.

This workshop is open to anyone who currently works with or has an interest in working with cultural heritage preservation. It will be particularly useful to representatives of community-based cultural institutions who are looking for ways to effectively digitize collections and manage existing digital collections. The second day of the workshop will be devoted to hands-on training with the Mukurtu Content Management System.

Survey: please complete this pre-workshop survey which will help us to tailor the program to the needs of the participants.
