Unlocking the Archives: Digitisting the David Hunt Collection

Thursday 5th December 2024

Speakers – Volunteer team
Sherborne resident and keen photographer, David Hunt (1921-1995), amassed a large collection of Victorian and Edwardian glass plate negatives, which were deposited at Sherborne Museum following his death. Last year, the award of a substantial grant by Dorset Council enabled the museum to embark on what has been termed “a landmark community project” – the digitisation and cataloguing of the David Hunt Collection. In this talk, several of the volunteers involved with the project will share their experiences alongside some of the highlights of the collection.
