Engage the public & visitors

We are devoting a great deal of energy to data conversion projects and digitizing the collections, which we have made available in various places, including outside the museum. There are approximately 270,000 records searchable on the Museums’ website via Collections Online, and coming soon will be approximately 130,000 new records of old negatives which have been made available as part of a data conversion project, displaying a mixture of vessels, events, and wrecks. To the certain delight of researchers, we will be adding another 10,000 images.

We had a lot of information that we needed to store in a very logical way, and we wanted to make that available to the public. For the first time in the Hall’s 140-year history we were able to make that history public.

We want to ensure that we can present relevant and educational information to our visitors, both when they visit the museum or when they come to one of our screenings and online. That means that we want to manage our whole collection and the one million objects that we have, from film to library to archive. Axiell’s solution allows us to achieve that with an up-to-date technology, which was one of the main reasons for our choice.
