Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey (Rutgers-Camden Center for the Arts)

The Rutgers-Camden Center for the Arts, Rutgers University (RCCA,) will digitize and catalog 475 pieces of the Rutgers-Camden Collection of Art. Project activities include updating existing records to create high-quality digital photographs of artworks; completing the application process for RUCore Repository, an open access scholarly resource; migrating the data for the artworks to RUCore; and generating an online virtual exhibition, highlighting 150 works of art from the collection. In addition to the digitized artwork, this project will allow RCCA to include information online such as artist biographies, information about the artwork's provenance, and educational content. Collection records will be openly available online for RCCA's combined audience of close to 55,000 people per year - the general public, scholars from the Rutgers community and other universities, galleries and museums, collectors, artists, and curators, teachers and students, who will benefit from access to RCCA's collection.
