Museum of Photographic Arts

The Balboa Park Online Collaborative (of which the Museum of Photographic Arts is a member) is a unique consortium founded to encourage technology-focused cooperation between San Diego's arts, science, historical, and performing arts organizations. The collaborative will undertake the "Presenting Balboa Park" project. Through a joint development process focusing on the needs and interests of museum staff, community educators, and visitors, the project will use open source tools and shared standards to create a rich library of digital content from the collections of Balboa Park's cultural organizations, resulting in unprecedented public access to rare and unique collections. It also creates new opportunities for educational programming and cross-collection, interdisciplinary exploration of collection information.
