The planning stages to develop a digital catalogue raisonné for Georgia O'Keeffe, which will allow scholars and the public to engage with O'Keeffe's works.  

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum seeks a Level I Digital Humanities Advancement Grant to envision a new type of digital publication to enhance scholarly discourse around the life, art and contexts of Georgia O’Keeffe. In the field of art history, catalogues raisonnés are critical in researching and understanding the full arc of an artist’s output, exhibitions, provenance, and publication histories. A 1999 print edition of the "Georgia O’Keeffe Catalogue Raisonné" is out of date and has limited access. Working with a cross-disciplinary group of scholars, this project proposes research and processes investigating the possibilities for updating the Georgia O’Keeffe Catalogue Raisonné in a digital format as a generative and collaborative form of humanities-based scholarship. The Museum will publish its findings in a white paper as well as develop a project plan for implementing this new digital research tool.
