The Philadelphia Museum of Art
respectfully requests a three-year $350,000 NEH Humanities Collections and Reference
Resources Implementation Grant to support the creation of an online research
portal to provide access to digitized archival materials created by or related
to Marcel Duchamp. The Duchamp Research Portal will unify the Museum's
voluminous digitized holdings with those of our two partner institutions—the
Association Marcel Duchamp and the Musée national d'art moderne Centre Georges
Pompidou (Paris)—making the bulk of Duchamp's archival materials, consisting of
approximately 60,516 documents, accessible and discoverable through a single
interface built on Linked Open Data. The Portal will constitute a learning
resource of incalculable value, one we anticipate will generate substantial new
contributions to scholarship on the life and work of one of the twentieth
century's most significant artists. |
