Stearns History Museum

The Stearns History Museum will update the catalog system for its archival collections by migrating data to a new catalog management system and creating a website interface and new control language and filters to make the catalog more accessible online. The director of archives and archivist will support the migration and clean-up of metadata into the new system. Three work-study students from St. Cloud State University will take the migrated metadata from the archival catalog and build a digital catalog with identifiers for e-commerce. The new catalog will support a new revenue stream for the museum by making it easier for patrons to order photos and prints via the museum's website.
