Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT List Visual Arts Center)

The MIT List Visual Arts Center-the contemporary art museum at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)-will conduct a digital exhibition archive project to digitize nearly 16,000 paper and audio visual objects relating to the museum's exhibition history since 1985. The objects in the exhibition archives will be processed, digitized, and made publicly accessible. The MIT List Center will then create a unique consortium of entities across MIT to facilitate scholarly initiatives that utilize the collection, including the MIT Museum, Center for Advanced Visual Studies, MIt's Program in Art, Culture and Technology, and Distinctive Collections. All digital content will be made available to the public through MIT Distinctive Collections' online repository, MIT ArchivesSpace. A selection of the 10 most impactful exhibitions from 1985 to 2010 will be featured on the MIT List Center website.
