Digitisation of Collections

2023-09-09 17 comments Largs Museum North Coast

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.

We are applying for this funding towards the cost of activities for next year.
