University of Kansas (Spencer Museum of Art)

The University of Kansas’ Spencer Museum of Art will convert its current digital management database to a supported, cloud-based database. The database is the museum’s repository for collections, artist/makers, exhibitions, events, collection transactions, conservation, publications, contacts records, and all digital resources associated with those records. It is the foundation of a suite of five browser-based applications that present collections, exhibitions, and educational content in directed, audience-driven tools. This project will support acquiring new software, data migration, and fund a full-stack developer to reconfigure the browser-based applications and website-related linking. The migration to the cloud-based database will support increased access to museum resources for audiences within the galleries and digitally across Kansas, the United States, and around the world.
