This weeks work at SwiB - May 21st 2012

SWiB

This week at SWiB I have been continuing to scan, edit and upload my Roy Westlake "Iconic Images of Plymouth" photographs onto the database. Unfortunately I only managed to sucessfully scan a measyly 5 segments of the collection onto the system this week due to an ongoing battle with the scanner and image editing software.

Due to these problems I have now set the finish date for the project back one week and hope to complete the Roy Westlake collection in next weeks session.

These are some of the 
Images I have been uploading 
today. These images of 
Buckland Abbey are from 
the RW-22-22 subcategory 
of the Roy Westlake collection, 
the coloured image is a 
1960's Image whilst the Black and 
White Images dates 
from the 1940's

On another note I am extremely happy and excited to say that I have been offered the post of Acting Archivist for SWiB for a three month period between September and December this year. In my capacity as Acting Archivist I will be expected  to serve as the point of contact for existing volunteers; to serve as a point  of contact for  members of the public; toprocess search and copyorder enquiries; to admininster the ongoing care of all of the SWiB collections; and  to continue the environmental 

monitoring of the archive storage room.
 

This is obviously an amazing opportunity and will make an outstanding addition to my
CV as I enter the final year of my Degree, not to mention interesting Blog material!
