Roadshow overview

A 'Roadshow' in this context is an event where people bring their objects and stories to be recorded and added to an online archive. They can also be called 'digitisation days', 'collection events', 'history days' or something else. At the event, roadshow staff talk to the visitors, record their stories and digitise the objects they bring. The images and information are then added to the online archive. 

Roadshows can be run in different ways. This schematic overview illustrates one model that has been successfully used at hundreds of events so far.
