In April 2021, our eHive team member Leisa Taylor worked with Te Hikoi museum to help catalogue their collection in eHive with Project Ark. Although the week sped by very quickly, Leisa had a few cataloguing tips she could share with the team.
CASE STUDY
The desire behind Search for the Stars will be shared by many museums: to transfer all object records from handwritten index cards into a digital catalogue that can be shared online.
The web-based Health Museum is the first stage towards developing a physical museum. It is designed to showcase health objects and collections held within South Australia, initially focusing on the institutions within Central Adelaide Local Health Network: Royal Adelaide Hospital, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, SA Dental, SA Pathology and Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre.
