Detroit Institute of Arts

The Detroit Institute of Arts will employ rapid image capture photography to create images for 13,268 artworks within its Prints, Drawings, and Photographs (PDP) collection, and store them in the museum's digital asset management system. In addition, the project will verify, update, and add new metadata to 16,237 PDP object records within its collection database. Together, these activities will address the museum's highest-priority collections care need, reflecting the fragility of this large and in-demand collection. New images and enhanced object records will allow museum staff to better monitor object conditions and improve their overall efficiency in responding to collection requests and planning exhibitions, publications, and gallery renovations.
