Sheldon Museum of Art

Sheldon Museum of Art will complete a digitization project of the collection, allowing the museum to better serve audiences, open doors to increased scholarship of the collection, expand K-12 and college student use, and enhance the collection's public research potential. A digitized collection substantively improves the institutional capacity of the museum, efficiency of staff, and protects the collection from unnecessary handling. Staff will photograph 1,800 artworks, verify data for 12,500 objects in the database, and implement a user friendly glossary of keyword standards. The updated database will be accessible online through the museum's website, and will provide the public with access to high-quality images of the collection.
