NEW WEBSITE HOME TO DIGITAL COLLECTION
Dubbo Regional Council has launched its new Reveal Collections website that is home to digital records of the heritage and art collections from across the Dubbo region.
The website has a catalogue of objects, documents and artworks from the Western Plains Cultural Centre, Old Dubbo Gaol and Wellington Caves. The project also supported the digitisation of the Dundullimal Homestead collection. Currently there are 126 items available in the digitised collection on the website.
Dubbo Regional Council Mayor Josh Black said the Reveal Collection website is free to access for the community and is designed to make the collections more accessible, whilst helping to preserve and protect significant art and heritage for future generations.
“This digital collection is a great resource for the community with items and objects available that aren’t always on display in our cultural facilities.
“There are a wide variety of items, from historical pieces contained within the local studies collection to fossils from the Wellington Caves,” Clr Black said.
This project is part of a broader strategy to digitise the Dubbo Region’s cultural collections. The website is an ongoing project with new objects to be added in the future.
“This is just the first stage in an ongoing process to catalogue our collections and make them available online via this new website,” said Dubbo Regional Council Local Studies Officer, Simone Taylor.
“A lot of work has taken place behind-the-scenes from the various sites to make this project a success and one that will preserve and protect our significant art and heritage for future years to come,” Ms Taylor said.
The Reveal Collections website and the digitisation of the heritage and art collections was funded by NSW Government’s Create NSW Creative Capital Grant Fund.
The Reveal Collections website is accessible through the Western Plains Cultural Centre, Old Dubbo Gaol and Wellington Caves websites as well as directly here: https://collections.dubbo.nsw.gov.au/explore.
