The National Historical Museums of Sweden (SHM) manages an astonishingly broad and ever growing collection of over 10 million objects, ranging from archaeological finds dating back to the Stone Age, to royal collections, art, archival material and much more. With items spread across seven different sites, managing the movements and locations of a collection of this scale and complexity presents a major challenge.
In this short video, Curator of Digital Systems at SHM, Julie Melin, tells us how barcode scanning via the Axiell Move app has helped them streamline their object location and movement workflows, saving countless hours and reducing the risk of human error. Learn how Axiell move has supported SHM to:
- Use barcode scanning to cut down human error
- Digitise movement workflows across all their sites
- Efficiently handle thousands of newly acquired archaeological objects every year
- Build a more accurate, reliable documentation process
