Amon Carter Museum of American Art

Amon Carter Museum of Western Art will use the grant for its project Connecting to Exhibitions, making over fifty years of the museum's exhibition history available to the public through a searchable, publicly-accessible online database of cross-referenced information for approximately 650 exhibitions. The exhibitions include photography, paintings, sculpture, watercolors, drawings, and costumery. Beginning in November 2014, the museum plans to digitize over 10,000 records and installation photographs from museum archives; repurpose records and images; and create online access with cross-referenced exhibition, object, and artist records. This online database will serve as a valuable resource in the study of American art, museum education, and local history available to public audiences, students, scholars, and educational and cultural institutions.
