LACASIS Event: Museums and the Online Archive of California

[Salem, Linda]

LOS ANGELES CHAPTER OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE
Be A Part Of It All...

Weaving the tapestry of cultural heritage:  Museums and the Online Archive
of California
Presented by Günter Waibel


The networked age presents cultural heritage institutions with the
opportunity to provide access to their holdings in unprecedented breadth and
depth. Because each institution holds but one strand of the tapestry of our
cultural heritage, the Berkeley Art Museum decided to explore collections
access across institutional boundaries. In the collaborative project,
"Museums and the Online Archive of California," the Berkeley Art Museum took
the lead in integrating museum collections, including multimedia surrogates
of collection objects, into a database encompassing primary resources from
libraries and archives statewide. Günter Waibel will provide a
behind-the-scenes tour of what it takes to merge collections data and
accompanying multimedia surrogates from disparate local sources into one
union database.

Günter Waibel is the Digital Media Developer at the UC Berkeley Art Museum &
Pacific Film Archive, where his responsibilities include the production,
management, preservation and delivery of BAM/PFA's digital assets ranging
from digital still images to digital video. He currently serves as a member
of the Online Archive of California Working Group and is the Chair of the
Museum Computer Network's Digital Imaging Special Interest Group.
