Notas del editor

  1. Summer 2011 – Spring 2012Two parts – successful project management and transitioning roles of visual resource centers
  2. SEGV part of Met Visual History Project – ongoing, multiple iniatiativesOngoing series of initiatives – multiple projects so far, with ARTstorDocumentation of institutional history; museum architectural; historical artworks; and exhibition history
  3. 2-year projectDigitize and catalog 4,000 imagesARTstor (no public, private, or federal grant funds! – exchange for distribution and rights strategic intern use)IMPORTANT – aims to fill a gap in museum’s collectionsUnique photographyHistory of museum spaces and of exhibitionsCurators, historians, museum archives
  4. 10 batches – cyclical workflow – differnet batches constantly coming and goingSelectionRe-binding (often deteriorating slide mounts)Inventory – record all metadata and assign unique # BY HAND*DIGITIZATION*Catalog in DAMS – metadata from number of sourcesRe-file slides in original master sets; create master sets if neededDocument project’s work in master sets and on original order forms
  5. Selection (subjective part of the process)In particular – show the gallery and/or exhibitionUniqeRIGHTS CONTROL – MMA or contract photogsNOIndividual works – risky – for example, a single piece – show contextPeople’s facesBannersCopyiright issues – contemporary photography shows
  6. Metadata comes from: Slides themselves Met Museum Archives – show authority data Original order forms
  7. Changes – restructuringTransition period begins in 2006 – re-defined (not fully)2012 – integration with Department of Digital Media Wider initiatives – vision-oriented director Thomas Campbell
  8. Campbell consolidates Museum departments – particularly primary digital – under Digital MediaDanger at large institutions – security, lack of communication and resource sharing(the stuff?)
  9. Anxiety - end of traditional librarian roles, expanding / shifting job descriptions / public reference, etc.
  10. Still similar! – work within museum projects and departmentsImage discovery and delivery; conservators ALL THE TIME; curatorial, web and editorial departments – shaping the output of the museumMaintain the collection and EXCITED about new partnership with Digital Media and being stakeholders in future of the Museum!
