Log Number: MA-04-12-0370-12

The San Diego Air & Space Museum, with its partner the Balboa Park Online Collaborative, will increase public access to its photo and video collections online through the two-year Great Explorations project. Great Explorations will develop requirements and standards for catalog record formats and metadata for archival materials, connect the museum's library system to a digital asset management system to reduce duplicate data entry, connect other collection databases to this system, and continue to add information to these systems to aid searching for both the museum staff and the general public. Benefits of Great Explorations extend to multiple audiences, particularly teachers, researchers, the museum's staff and volunteers, and other museum professionals.
