Introducing the digitisation book Remote Capture in Ukrainian

We’re delighted to announce the Ukrainian translation of Remote Capture: Digitising Documentary Heritage in Challenging Locations, a practical guide for anyone planning a digitisation project.

Originally published in 2018 by Open Book Publishers, the book was authored by Patrick Sutherland, Adam Farquhar, Jody Butterworth and Andrew Pearson. It offers comprehensive guidance tailored to the needs of EAP projects from establishing the scope of the project, via practical considerations about equipment, work routines, staffing, and negotiating local politics, to backing up data and successfully completing projects. The book covers every stage and provides help and guidance, advice and experiences from people who have completed projects around the globe.

Commissioned by the British Library, the Ukrainian edition is now freely available as a digital download, with print copies also available for purchase online.

Tatiana Vagramenko (University College Cork), EAP grantee for the project Religious minorities archives and the war in Ukraine: The Adventist Historical Archive-Museum in Bucha (EAP1511), reflects on her experience using the book in a compelling blog post titled ‘Preserving memory where everything else is being destroyed.’ Read it in Ukrainian and English.
