We started by dividing up the jobs according to sections.

The people involved in making these web pages included graphic designers, researchers, computer technicians, curators, conservators, video specialists, and art historians, just to name a few.

To create the web site we first photographed the heritage site inside and out. This included the gardens, and pictures of the inside and outside of the heritage house. This provided images for the Virtual Tour.

Next we photographed the artifacts in the heritage house that are called "Tier A". "Tier A" means objects that were used by the family or people that lived in the house during that period of time which is the most significant. For instance, an original painting by Emily Carr would be considered "Tier A" as would the bed that she was born in.

These artifacts are then catalogued by the curator, and put into a database that is created by the computer "techie" from the team.

We have team members whose love for research and art, helped find information about Emily's family, her books, paintings, and articles about Emily.

Looking for pictures and text helps to create a booklike quality to the website, and the material is digitized to create the new medium - The Internet!  

In order for all of this material to look organized and visually pleasing on the Internet, graphic designers are employed to create the look and feel of the website. Graphic designers use graphics programs to alter photographs. Graphic programs are used to make almost everything you see on a website. For example, creating a "title bar" adds to the organization and flow of the website, and helps you navigate through the website better. Graphic designers are artists that use their artistic expression to storyboard the site, which includes making up sections of the website like the "Family" section or the "Gallery" section.
