The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH) will use its grant to create high quality digital images of approximately 29,300 works on paper, link them to the museum’s collection management system, and make the images and select object information globally accessible via the museum’s website, ARTstor Digital Library, and the Art Project powered by Google. Critical evaluation of each stage of the project will result in a set of written procedures to guide future MFAH digitization projects. The project will advance the institution’s long-range goals by increasing access to its collections, delivering on its commitment to education and research, and ensuring the stewardship of its collections.
