The new collection-management tool is being developed in collaboration with CollectionSpace, an open-source collection-management system developed at the University of California at Berkeley. The Archive team will adapt the CollectionSpace software to reflect the administrative workflows particular to the management of public art collections. For an attainable annual subscription fee, the system will streamline efforts related to cataloguing, condition checks, conservation, commissioning and acquisition tracking. All of these processes will be customized to fit the needs of the public art field. In addition, users of the new Public Art Archive software will easily be able to transmit data immediately into the Archive, thus more readily sharing additions to the growing national public art collection.

Best,

All,

 

I was curious to see what you use as a database to manage your public art collection. I feel like what we currently use is much better suited for museums and I have had a hard time making it work for our collection. I wanted to see if there was something better suited for public art that I am missing. 

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

 

Emily
