Developing effective and efficient workflows in Quartex
Monday 5th December, 17:00 GMT | 12:00 EST | 09:00 PST
In the first of this two-part webinar series, learn some of the time-saving features that simplify asset management and allow multiple team members to work simultaneously, all from one straightforward system.
Presenting oral histories
Oral histories allow people whose voices might not otherwise be heard to share their stories and experiences. But having captured these unique primary sources, how can they best be presented so that they can be heard and studied by researchers? Learn how institutions like yours are using our technology to present oral histories and take away actionable ideas for breathing new life into oral histories in your collections.

Stories from Australian archives, reimagined with digital storytelling tools in Quartex

From automated transcription and dynamic metadata to image viewer options and more, join us to learn how to tell and amplify the stories in your digital archive with discovery and engagement tools in Quartex.
