Purpose

I created this mock website for my LIS-531V Concepts in Cultural Heritage and Informatics course.

This mock website is an interactive online exhibit that integrates resources from various departments to:• Preserve and exhibit• Reach a larger audience and expose collections not on view• Maintain the educational program• Promote the understanding of art history and the making of art• Exercise convergence across institutional departments including

curators, education department, library, archive, webmaster and conservation.

Note:This project utilized images from the collection of a New England art museum. However, due to copyright restrictions I replaced the original images with images in the public domain and changed the title of the museum.
