Midwest Miniatures Museum

Midwest Miniatures Museum will digitize and publish online the museum’s collection of miniatures, including architectural scale models, dioramas, furniture, and paintings. The museum will hire a collections manager and additional staff to photograph items and conduct data migration to the museum’s collections management system. Increased intellectual control of the project will improve collections care, increase internal accessibility to the collection, and mitigate the risk of handling the miniatures for research and exhibition purposes. As a result of the project, staff will make project metadata accessible to the public through the museum website.
