Ferris State University (Jim Crow Museum of Racist Imagery)

The Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia at Ferris State University will undertake a collections digitization project to increase access to museum content. Project activities include upgrading to a new cloud-based collections management system that allows public access, migrating existing collections data to the new system, adding new digital assets to the collections database, and creating a digital exhibit and virtual gallery tours. The new, publicly accessible database and associated digital exhibit and virtual gallery tours will enable scholars, students, educators, and communities who may not live near the museum to access the museum's collections content.
