Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame

The remote central Queensland location of the Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame and Outback Heritage Centre has proved no barrier to visitors.  Since its opening in 1988 it has drawn a huge number of national and international visitors to experience the centre and see its architecturally iconic buildings.  The collections tell the story of the explorers, indigenous people, pastoralists and stock workers of the extraordinary landscape of interior Australia.

The collections include a large archival collection and fantastic photographic collection.  Browse their collections and see the eclectic mix of objects being catalogued and published to the web.

eHive feature survey results

We have completed our inaugural eHive features survey. For those that participated in the survey, thank you for taking the time to fill this out. Your feedback is valuable for shaping our development plans.  We will be running surveys again in the future, as they are a simple and quick way you can help us prioritise our planned features. Advanced searching and more options for sorting and reporting featured highly in our survey results.

We used a scale of 1– 5 (1 = least important, 5 = most important) to rank twelve key features in eHive’s future development.

How we shape our development roadmap

We gather ideas for future development from conferences around the world, at our free eHive workshops, on the eHive forum, and from direct contact with our users. From this, and with a close eye on international standards, we put together our development roadmap for the year ahead.

We will be updating the development road map soon. You will see a notice on the site when it is available.  From then on, you can access the updated roadmap the usual way, by the link that sits at the bottom of every page in eHive.The online features survey is the newest addition to gathering feedback, and the results will form part of our decision making process.

Fairfield Halls

Fairfield Halls is an entertainment venue with a rich history. Based in Croydon, South London, Fairfield Halls comprises a gallery, theatre and concert hall buildings that were opened in 1962.  Over the years, a large and colourful selection of Fairfield Halls’ archives has been gathered.  To celebrate the 50th anniversary of their opening, a selection of these archives is now online.

The ‘Fairfield at 50’ project uses an eHive account and our WordPress plugins to create a branded website.  You can browse the Fairfield Halls eHive account within eHive, and also on the ‘Fairfield at 50’ website.  Search for your favourite band!

Testimonials

New England Regional Art Museum

I’ve worked with the Team at eHive to deliver three online collection projects – across archives, library and art museum collections, both in New Zealand and Australia. The technical support is exemplary and the eHive Team have offered guidance and advice that makes solving any problems easy and maximising project potential possible. I’ve used eHive as both a host website for online collections, and for a fully integrated museum website search experience that has helped diversify our audiences and allow people to respond to collections in a tangible way.

Tanya Robinson - New Zealand & Australia

Mataura Museum

Thanks to eHive we are now a museum without walls. After putting our collection online, web visitors exceed physical visitors by a factor of ten, all without having to set up and maintain our own website. This wider reach has brought a raft of new connections to our small community museum.

David Luoni - New Zealand

Tweed Regional Museum

eHive has allowed the Tweed Regional Museum to easily publish our collection online, making it more accessible than ever before, revolutionising how we work and how far our collection can go. The back end of the system is incredibly easy to use, making it simple for staff with non technical backgrounds to publish the collection online. The team at Vernon have an excellent customer service ethos and help is never far away. We can’t recommend eHive to other small or medium museums enough.

Erika Taylor - Australia

Ashley Parker

Personally I consider eHive to be an absolute triumph. It is easy to use, logical, comprehensive, economic, safe (as in backed up), it has an open data/migration path to get data out and the support is superb. I will absolutely encourage other institutions I come across to change over to it. I did a pretty thorough analysis of the competition out there before selecting eHive and it seemed the best approach of all the choices.

Ashley Parker - Australia
