Welcome to this Order From Chaos Online Tutorial. Since 2012 I\u2019ve been exploring how to organise, digitise, show, share, bring to life, preserve, and pass on our physical and digital objects; and this tutorial is intended to draw out the lessons I\u2019ve learned and recorded in the pwofc.com web site.<\/p>\n
The tutorial takes the form of a series of units, each one providing a few screenfulls of main points with links to supporting posts elsewhere in this site (it\u2019s not possible to link exclusively to specific text within a post).<\/p>\n
