Universities

Internally, the collections team uses the system for all the things you would expect; all the collections management, curatorial tools, preparing exhibitions, cataloguing, new acquisitions, tracking collections care, everything in that range. As a University museum we have quite a high teaching and research load, so it’s the first port of call for starting off all our teaching and research enquiries, but we’re also trying to get the outcomes of that research back into the system.

The rich cultural collections of the University will now be an integral part of our education to the benefit of our researchers and students. This focus on active learning pedagogies, with dedicated facilities to support object-based learning, will enable us to improve student experience and learning outcomes.

There’s a lot of institutional history that’s fragmented among our different curatorial departments and the system provides a context and a milieu in which to reunite that information that’s been orphaned in many cases for over 100 years.
