Tips on digitisation
Digitise analogue works with a mobile phone or digital camera against a neutral background
The brighter the light when taking the photo, the better the quality of the photos (illuminate evenly and with no shadows)!
Observe colour accuracy when photographing!
Include brief details of the material and technique for each work/group of works
Note the size of the work
Photograph sketchbooks page by page or record the leafing through as a video
