Health Museum of South Australia collection – eHive collection profile

Te Hikoi museum is cataloguing their entire collection in eHive with Project Ark. Our eHive team member helped catalogue a few items and shared some tips.

A collection of United States uniformed services visor cap devices. The collection is focused on variations of devices by different makers and areas of production.

Like many museums, the team found that after many years, management of the collection needed some attention. A lot of time and effort had been invested in these databases, but none were complete.

In December 2017 we announced the Project Ark: Digitising Southland’s heritage collections. We are happy to now release the Cataloguing Standards for Project Ark and eHive.

We have given the eHive home page a new look to include an improved way to search for objects.

eHive is adding some new features for images. You will now be able to upload larger images and have tools to pan and zoom into the detail. Original size image are now always stored, so you’ll need to make sure you upload the size of image you want to permanently keep on eHive.
