Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago

The Museum of Science and Industry will increase the general public's access to its collection by creating a new online catalog accessible through the museum's website. They will update the collection database, create the online collection catalog, and develop an infrastructure to allow for regular updates over time. When launched, the digital collection will include a robust search engine, curated artifact "sets," and high-resolution 360-degree photography. The museum's collection of exhibits is an anthropological review of industry and ingenuity over time. This project will make a significant portion of the collection available to the public for the very first time.
