University of Minnesota (Goldstein Museum of Design)

The Design for Everyone: Increasing Access to Collections project will increase access to and expand the use of the Goldstein Museum of Design’s collection of 26,200 designed objects by making digital images and information about the collection available online. The end product will be a Web-accessible, information-rich tool readily available for research and study. The project has two main components: creating digital images of the collection and replacing the current outdated collections database with Re:discovery Proficio, a collections management database that contains both descriptive and structural information about each object.
