- strategic digital media projects collaborating with museum, university and corporate partners to implement cost-effective technology solutions into the museum space.
- Convair was an America aircraft manufacturing company founded in the 1940’s that is now defunct. They maidrockets and spacecraft.
- ros and cons--Views across collection, great SEO with the metadata--Compromise for shared data sets – complicated, has restrictions. Image presentation
- The big take away I want to leave you with is that this is a model of a shared platform for access for institutions with very little resources to make their collections accessible to the community. It is a platform that can be shared and adapted for other uses. How can this model inform your practice? Is it applicable to your interests as a student? If you are a museum professional is this model relevant to your institution or the work you do. If you are an educator – how can this model help with teaching about digital humanities practice?
