Let's think about the problem we are trying to solve...
Campus libraries and museums are the stewards of rare and culturally significant collections used by educators and students alike for teaching and research. But, these campus collections are usually housed in different buildings and only partially available online. To address these barriers to access, the Hesburgh Libraries and Snite Museum of Art at the University of Notre Dame embarked on this collaborative digital project to make cultural heritage resources on campus more openly available and reusable for teaching and research.
The project aims to deliver:
1. A unified discovery and exhibition interface
2. Preservation process documentation
3. A replicable, open source, cloud-based application
4. Standardized workflows and best practices
