Barnes Foundation

Log Number: MA-249871-OMS-21

The Barnes Foundation seeks to improve access to the Albert C. Barnes correspondence documents. Spanning almost 50 years (1902–1951), the correspondence contains dialogues with many historical figures and is a rich, critical resource with relevance for a broad range of humanistic disciplines. The museum will ensure the collection’s long-term preservation by creating digital records of the collection and then storing them in a new digital asset management system. The project also will enhance public access to the collection by making it available to scholars and general audiences on its website in a thoughtful and easily navigable way.
