Tips on digitization
Digitize analogue works with a mobile phone or digital camera against a neutral background
The brighter the light when capturing the image, the better the quality of the photos (illuminate evenly with no shadows)
Ensure colour accuracy when taking photographs
Include brief notes on the material and technique for each work/group of works
Quote the size of the work
Photograph sketchbooks page by page or make a video of the pages being turned over
