Context
The images have been digitised by several member of staff with no consistency or guidelines.

Other interested parties
Jane Harrison Cassandra Johnson

Lessons Learned
Create guidelines for scanning (including format type, resolution, name convention etc) before starting any digitisation programme. Need to know what digital object we have before putting together a preservation plan.

Datasets
