University of California, Berkeley (Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, University of California)

The Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive at the University of California will expand access to its broad spectrum art collection for students, researchers, scholars, and the general public by adding nearly 2,000 images to its public online database. The museum will hire a fine art photographer and a digital image processing specialist to create high resolution images of the works and to enhance catalog records for existing images, ensuring long-term use of the materials across multiple platforms. The creation of professional quality high-resolution images will reduce the need to re-photograph the works for other purposes in the foreseeable future, resulting in less handling and risk to delicate works.
