Mount Holyoke College (Mount Holyoke College Art Museum)

The Mount Holyoke College Art Museum will digitally photograph and catalogue approximately 4,000 objects in three of its most frequently studied and noteworthy holdings: works of art on paper, objects of American material culture, and American and European silver. Representing Phase II of the museum’s digitization efforts, the project will provide college faculty and students with access to an increased array of objects to include in teaching and learning. A new K-12 module created as part of this project will be instrumental in bringing object-based teaching into the classrooms of area primary and secondary schools. The database will also serve to familiarize public visitors with the collection and act as a first level of research support for scholars.
