Summary

Largs Museum has a wonderful collection of Art, Artifacts, Photographs and Postcards, many of which are over 100 years old.    It is important that these collections be digitized so they can be made readily available to the local community without placing any undue stress on the originals many of which are fragile.  All of the musuem's collections relate to our local heritage such as artifacts, events, people and places.  

As an independent museum run by volunteers we are funded mainly by donations from visitors to the museum.

Description

Our postcard collection was digitised last winter using private facilities. The remaining collections should be digitised inhouse.   This will be an opporunity for our current and new members/volunteers to come together over the winter months while the museum is closed to the general public.   This project will be a major contribution to ensuring that our heritage is safely recorded for future generations. To make this possible we would kindly ask for funding towards:
