Newark Museum of Art

The Newark Museum will begin phase one of a two-part, comprehensive documentation processing and cataloging project that will improve intellectual control of and access to the museum’s 83,000-specimen Natural Science Collection. The final outcome of the project will be the ability to implement the directives of the 2006 Natural Science Collecting Guidelines, which call for its division into three distinct collections—a Research Collection, an Exhibition Collection, and a Teaching Collection—to make it more accessible as well as more effectively serve the diverse needs of the museum’s audience.
