FISH HOEK VALLEY MUSEUM
GDHA launches digital hub KEANAN HARMSE KEANAN.HARMSE@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

isitors who always wanted to envision what it was like exploring ancient rock art and dark caves can now look forward to testing Fish Hoek Valley Museum’s new digital museum room.
The team has a vision for a complete digital archive of the Museum’s collection The museum is currently experimenting with virtual and augmented reality to provide visitors with a new
outlook of their artefacts said curator Sue Maude. Maude has lived in Fish Hoek for 15 years and has served the museum for a year now. She has also published a coffee-table book on Llandudno and was ghost writer for long time Fish Hoek resident Neoklis Pneumaticatos for his second book of memoirs called South of Ithaca. “I have an interest in contributing
to my local community. As a Fish Hoek resident, I used to walk past the museum. “The homeless were sleeping outside and I wondered if anyone felt comfortable visiting. “Then in 2023 the museum had a renovation and fencing was put up. I attended the re-opening function and volunteered. “I have since become the curator after Sally Britten, curator for 10 long
years, stepped back,” Maude says. The inspiration that birthed the digital museum occurred through a visit from the archaeology team at Global Digital Heritage Afrika (GDHA) - a non-profit organisation (NPO) dedicated to documenting global cultural and natural heritage. It was launched in March last year. TO PAGE 3
