Editor's Notes
- Welcome to all of you to Duxford I had the idea of this seminar last year and Iām really pleased itās now happening and there are so many of us from our sector interested in taking these discussions forward. We have a busy day ahead of us and we will try to keep to time, but our first priority is making the day as useful as possible for us all. If you havenāt already signed up for the tours, please do so when we break for lunch, despite the weather they will be an interesting dip into the work we do. This morning we will be sharing some experiences from us at IWM, and the BFI and hearing from our key suppliers Axiell and Spectralogic and then this afternoon we hope there is more time for a more general discussion.
- Start with thank yous
- For those of you who donāt know much about our work, IWM was founded to collect and preserve objects that would capture the human experience of the First World War. At the formal opening of the museum King George V talked about creating āa memorial which speaks to the heart and to the imaginationā made of items which āhad an individual history which could be recorded and cherishedā. 100 years on and in our centenary year, our collections are displayed and stored across 5 branches, but our holdings and our work is increasingly digital and we needed to invest in a DAMS which we could build on for the next 100 years and which could support the national and international work we do.
- Right at the start of our history, this is where IWM began, a temporary store set up on the Western Front in 1917, just behind the lines of fighting. Ā
- And this is where we are now. We have over 33 million unique items, including photographs, documents, art works, film, sound, objects and books. Most of these are analogue.
- One idea Iād like to leave with you through the day is whether some of us want to make this an annual or at least regular event to talk about DAMS issues as they affect museums and how we influence our suppliers to ensure we get what we need ā Alex. Ask Ian if he has anything else to add ā if not, go straight into next slides
