Archiving with VicCollections

Archiving RMGNA documents & items

RMGNA has a diverse collection of documents from past meetings and activities as well as historical items, such as celebratory teaspoons. These items are currently stored in a number of sites including RMH Parkville, Jane Bell House and in suitcases in member homes! We don't want to lose these valuable items so need to start archiving them for everyone to explore and enjoy. 


Victorian Collections is a free collection management system where members of organisations can be trained to catalogue, digitise and upload records to the Vic Collections site. 


If you want to join our Archive Group, please email your expression of interest to: rmhgna@outlook.com and register for one of the Victoria Collections "Getting strarted with VC" workshops. The next beginner workshops will be:

 

  • Wednesday 18 Feb, via Zoom, 10:00 am - 1:30pm
  • Wednesday 18 March - in-person, metro Melbourne location (times & venue to be confirmed)


Register for workshops (& to find out more details), go to the AMaGA Victoria site:   https://www.amagavic.org.au/events
