Consortial Action to Preserve Born-Digital, Web-Based Art History & Culture
Development of a reference resource of born-digital art historical records such as artist and gallery websites and web-published catalogs. Through the project, Internet Archive would develop an access portal to these web-archived collections, formalize standards and priorities for consortium members doing the web-archiving work, and develop datasets related to the resource and tutorials for using them.
The Internet Archive, partnering with the New York Art Resources Consortium (NYARC), which consists of the Frick Art Reference Library, MoMA, and Brooklyn Museum, proposes a two-year, Humanities Collections and Reference Resources Implementation grant from the NEH’s Division of Preservation and Access. This funding will create a comprehensive reference resource of the nation’s key art history and humanities collections published on the web. The activities of this grant will mobilize a diverse, national group of art and museum libraries to coordinate curation and the creation of a unified access research portal of web-based arts content.
