The museum collections management technology project was funded in 2017 by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Partners at the Balboa Park Online Collaborative (BPOC) and Ithaka S+R were tasked with investigating the museum technology landscape around collections, and how well it supports internal operations as well as community programming.
Surveys and interviews gathered input and ideas to identify opportunities within museums and other collections-holding institutions to leverage collections information technologies in support of public-facing programs and inter-institutional collaborations. To share findings and support community dialogue around potential future directions, a final report, dataset, and presentation are available at the links below.
