  • Notes from the ‘Stuff you need to know 2’ seminar July 2018

    Our ‘Stuff you need to know’ seminar was Sunday, July 29 2018 at the Narre Warren Mechanics’ Institute Hall, 59 Webb Street.

    Here are some notes from the day. Unfortunately, the session on Community Banking did not go ahead as the guest speaker could not make it, due to unexpected circumstances.

    Digitisation: Turning History into Pixels presented by Murray Adams, Mornington Peninsula Shire Local History Digitisation Officer. As well as giving us lots of practical information on digitising, Murray also talked about George Rose, the founder of the Rose Stereograph Company, who produced the Rose Series postcards.
