Gold Nugget Museum

The Gold Nugget Museum and History Center will complete the second phase of its project to migrate its collection information from four different databases to a single comprehensive database. The museum will expand its work stations, hire additional staff and purchase new components of its database software to migrate 75 percent of its records within two years. The museum's collections consist of over 15,000 original artifacts, documents, and photographs from early mining days to the present day, records of which are not cataloged consistently. The project will ensure better physical and intellectual control of the collections, expand research access to the collections, and enable staff to generate reports on condition and track usage.
