Lewis H. Latimer House Museum

The Lewis Latimer House Museum will hire staff to improve collections management and create a digital exhibition from the museum’s collection. In partnership with Queens Public Library, museum staff will digitize the Latimer Family Papers. For the project, the museum will hire a Collections Digitization Manager, who will train and supervise paid interns on digital asset management practices. The museum will also hire a Digitization Specialist to implement collections digitization software. Staff will travel to conduct collections research, which will inform the creation of a digital exhibition of the museum’s permanent collection. The digital exhibition will be available on the museum’s website as a free, public resource.
