Georgia O'Keeffe Museum

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum will improve its digital and data infrastructure, allowing for expanded access to the museum's collections, unique archives, and the accumulated resources that provide context for understanding Georgia O'Keeffe's life and artwork. Currently, most of the museum's material is stored in specialized internal databases and is accessible only to individuals conducting research in person. The museum will refine these existing databases, digitize additional information, develop data crosswalks and metadata standards, and create a platform to harvest information from all these sources and provide aggregated results. The portal will reveal connections between disparate data sources - linking paintings with related archival records, oral histories, criticism files, conservation reports, and more. The platform will also serve as a model for other museums seeking to build a single-artist research portal.
