Museum of the City of New York

The Museum of the City of New York will catalog and digitize its 2,000 object American silver collection and upload these high-resolution images to a user-friendly collections portal where they may be studied by curators, art historians, scholars, students, and enthusiasts. High-resolution images will make available details such as engravings and makers marks that may enable scholars to further identify production methods and increase understanding of less-known aspects of silver making. This project will enhance access to this collection and enable scholars to better study American decorative arts.
