Editor's Notes
- #2 In 2016, media can be a key factor in the ongoing success of your organisation. It certainly is here at the Library. Sally Hopman, our Media Liaison Manager, and Jessica Drake, our Online Content Manager, are here to share their knowledge, and present some possible approaches worth considering.
- #7 I’m now going to talk briefly about some of the other things you need to know to help you to complete your CHG project. Do not let this picture cause you to panic.
- #8 The CHG website should be your first point of reference for further information. I am sure it will be one of your bookmarks from now on. And you can always contact the CHG office- the contact details are on the website. For many of you starting out with Significance Assessments there is lots of information here for you in particular help on finding an assessor. That is your first job. Then go straight to the website to find guidance what you should be doing to prepare for the assessor. Your Significance Assessment must follow the format of as set out on the website. Similarly, in the next stage, the Preservation Needs Assessment must follow the PNA format on the website
- #9 A good thing to do is to read this book first, particularly chapters 4, 5 6 and 7 The easiest way to find it is by googling Significance 2.0, or use the link on the CHG website.
- #10 Here is just one of the many resources available on the internet about significance. For example in this video, Andrew talks about what their significance assessment meant for the National Vietnam Veterans Museum, whether it was undertaken at the right time, and how the findings are not always what the committee might want to hear.
- #11 In the Conservation Activities section of our website there are many other useful resources and links. For example, you will find a link there to the PROV Just digitise it book, which summarises the material Daniel covered on Wednesday in the Digitisation workshop. If you didn’t get to Daniel’s workshop, you can watch the PROV Just digitise it video, also linked to here. And there is also a link there to the Digitisation of Heritage Materials Training Manual, with additional technical information about digitisation. Please also remember that last year’s Archives presentation can also be found here. The presentations from this year’s workshops will soon be made available on the CHG website. You can find presentations from earlier years there as well. Please also remember that last year’s Archives presentation can also be found here.
- #12 There is also a lot of information in your workshop handbook. On page 2 are the key dates to know for the CHG year. They are also printed on a separate piece of paper in your bag. I suggest you put them in a prominent place back at your organisation. I know we have them on a whiteboard in our office. Don’t forget you have contact details in the back of your handbook for your fellow CHG workshop participants who I am sure will welcome opportunities to keep in contact and share their knowledge and experiences. Of course you are welcome to contact the CHG office with your questions at any time.
- #13 So it’s now time to get your skates on! Let’s think about those key dates of the CHG year.
- #14 Just to remind you that reports are submitted online through SmartyGrants. It’s important for us that everything to do with your grant is attached to it in SmartyGrants. It’s our online filing cabinet.
- #15 The first deadline will be the Progress report due on 24 April 2017
- #16 The Progress Report template will be very similar to this so you can see it is fairly brief. This report can only be accessed in SmartyGrants and must be submitted online with signed declaration form scanned and uploaded with the report. If you happen to have totally completed your project by 24 April 2017, then you don’t need to submit a progress report; the Final Report will suffice.
- #17 If you wish to vary your project, please notify us! The CHG Coordinator must approve any significant alteration to the project before it is implemented.
- #18 The next major deadline will be the Final Report. The hard work is done, the project complete. For Final Reports, please attach all receipts, sign the declaration form and include a copy of any reports or training materials commissioned with CHG funding. If you are completing training projects (down the track) please include photos where possible with copies of training materials produced.
- #19 When you log in to SmartyGrants you will see a form similar to the Progress Report but longer. Pay particular attention to this section where it lists what you need to do to fully acquit your grant. Don’t try to read them on this slide; they are listed on the next one.
- #20 These are the things you will need to have completed in order to scan and attach them to fully acquit the grant.
- #21 Some of you here today will be thinking you might like to speed things up a bit. Get on up that staircase! You might be thinking you would like to apply again in 2017.
- #22 So Can you apply for a grant in 2017? Yes you can. If you wish to apply for a grant in 2017 you must have completed your final report and acquitted your 2016 grant by 17 April 2015. So for example: If your SA is done and acquitted by 17 April 2017 then you can apply for PNA or next stage in 2017. You will really need to get your skates on to achieve this. And we have Christmas as well. If you do intend to do this, don’t fall into the trap of being in such a rush that you do not take the time to consider the Significance Assessment report you have just had done.
- #23 I am sending you all an email, asking you to complete our CHG Participant Feedback form. I suggest you do it with your workshop handbook beside you so you can remember the sessions you went to. We value your feedback and will use it to help us plan the program for next year. For example, the tables this year are a direct result of last year’s feedback.
- #24 Remember to add the travel and accommodation costs in applications for future assessors, trainers, etc.
- #25 Well...I reckon we’re very close to the end of our Workshop program Thank you all for making my very first CHG Workshop such a great experience. It’s been great putting faces to names, and getting to know you. I look forward to catching up with you over the coming year, by phone and email. Remember – if you need any clarifications, further information, reassurance you are on the right track, just ring or email me I’m already starting to visualise where I should go on my around Australia trip! Very importantly, I would like to acknowledge Marg’s enormous contribution to CHG – 12 years! Without Marg’s knowledge, experience and very hard work, this week would not have run so smoothly. Given my very short 5 months in the job, it has been fantastic having such a brilliant and wise organiser as my assistant. I am sure you would join me in thanking Marg who has kept you all on track this week and got you here and will get you home again – from Rockhampton to Hobart to Greenough! Thank you all for being a wonderful group, your enthusiasm and interest has been very rewarding and inspirational for us all at the Library and at our partner organisations. Best wishes for a safe journey home and exciting times ahead.
