Peabody & Essex Museum

The Peabody Essex Museum will significantly upgrade its information and data-driven infrastructure by purchasing a new large-capacity server system and a new collection management database system. The new server system will include a main consolidated data server and a backup. The new collection management system will allow the existing collections data to be migrated from the current database. Additional collection’s content, such as images of works or original documentation that have been made into electronic files, will be stored on the new large-capacity consolidated server. Both systems will enhance the museum’s institutional capacity by improving the museum’s current storage issues, but will allow flexibility for continued growth.
