Hi Collective Wisdom,
Inspired by many at the conference in New Orleans, I have embarked on a project to create the first ever, born digital, artist file for my institution. I will be using Omeka and will have a portal on our special collections and archive
website to provide access and discovery. If you have worked with artist files (physical or digital) and would not mind me picking your brain, would you please connect with me off list? I have many questions and as soon as I solve one problem, ten more seem
to pop up. Specifically, I am looking to not recreate the wheel with regard to forms and legal issues that come up when working with artists and/or estates that own original pieces that I want to have represented in the artist files.
Many thanks in advance! My contact info is below.
Best,
