Retention of three full-time positions and support for seven staff to digitize collections and publish online exhibitions and educational resources. 

A digital access project to make more available our collection of historical images, artworks and objects of material culture, as well as special collections, such as our sound ecology recordings, artist research, manuscripts, maps and other materials, and rapidly expanding digital collections. We will expand the ways we provide access to help a diverse public find and use the materials relevant to them and use the digital resources to create resources for teachers and students, to create virtual tours and exhibitions, to create catalogues and to create expanded digital archives.
