The Buzz #1

Welcome to our first THE BUZZ newsletter.

Every few weeks we will be sharing some updates on eHive and interesting things that we have come across in the wider world of museums and collections.

Now you can upload PDF files to eHive. We’ve just rolled out the latest major upgrade to eHive. You can now attach PDF files to object records and each image & document has options for public access.

The new “Edit PDF files” menu option, available in all places where you can edit a record, allows you to upload individual PDF files, overwrite the default link name for the document, and overwrite the access level for a specific file.

What do people search for in an online collection? Creative Commons launched a new search tool in February, at the same time as New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art released 375,000 digital works. Find out what people are searching for.

What is a digital audit and how will it save you time and effort? If you get nothing else from this article, Baby strides: Becoming more digital museums, you will find out what a digital audit is and how it can save you time and effort.

Inside the Lost Museum – Curating, Past and Present by Steven Lubar “In this volume, Steven Lubar, among the most thoughtful scholars and professionals in the field, turns “museum” into a verb, taking us behind the scenes to show how collecting, exhibiting, and programming are conceived and organised." 

More than 500 cultural institutions use Sketchfab. This is the place to keep 3D files of your objects. Not only can you link directly from eHive to Sketchfab, but now you can include sound.

Testimonials

I’ve worked with the Team at eHive to deliver three online collection projects – across archives, library and art museum collections, both in New Zealand and Australia. The technical support is exemplary and the eHive Team have offered guidance and advice that makes solving any problems easy and maximising project potential possible. I’ve used eHive as both a host website for online collections, and for a fully integrated museum website search experience that has helped diversify our audiences and allow people to respond to collections in a tangible way.
