Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza

The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza will conduct a collections-wide inventory project. Staff will capture catalog information for all objects in the collections and record them in the museum's database. The museum's collection numbers more than 50,000 objects and is one of the world's most important sources of artifacts, images, documents, audio and visual recordings, oral histories and other documentation of the assassination of President Kennedy and the cultural legacy of that event. The inventory process will include reconciling object and record in the museum's collections management database, assessing condition and priority for image capture, rehousing and physically numbering each object when necessary, and editing or creating records with accurate data. The project will enable the museum to build on the success of a major cataloging project by adding records to the collections database, as well as improve searchability and intellectual control over collections.
