Phillips Collection

The Phillips Collection’s online collections database project will support the museum’s ongoing work to photograph and digitize images of the objects in its permanent collection, thereby increasing the number of images available for scholarly research, informal learning opportunities, and publication. This project is part of a larger initiative to make all of the museum’s primary resources—the permanent collection and the library and archival holdings—accessible to a worldwide audience via a user-friendly search tool on the museum’s Web site. The Phillips Collection will photograph and digitize approximately 870 works of art from the permanent collection, making 100% of the collection digitally accessible.
