The physical companion exhibition for the Sea Your History website I have been working on the past 2.5 years has opened at the Royal Naval Museum in Portsmouth, UK. I created two kiosks to display the website locally within the exhibit.

A great new museum has opened in Paris, Quai Branly, a fantastic space and an amazing collection of ethnographic artifacts from around the world. From Mayan to Dogon, Egyptian to Admiralty islands, Cheyenne to Inca, a plethora of material, and represented in a sympathetic and accessible way.
Today I am going to begin a discussion on creating a Digital Repository. I am currently doing this in my position as IT Officer for the Sea Your History project at the Royal Naval Museum in Portsmouth UK.
The task for our project was to:
- Accumulate Digital Assets (images, audio, flash interactives, other digital files)
- Define a method of workflow (asset selection and approval)
- Capture metadata relating to the asset
- Define storage requirements
- Define a long term preservation strategy
- Define a method of access
