Maxwell Anderson at the IMA
Maxwell Anderson, director of the Indianapolis Museum of Art, responds to my call (in yesterday’s post, Deaccession Heaven: Indianapolis Museum of Art Does It Right) for him to make the technology behind his state-of-the-art deaccession database “available to the entire field immediately…if not sooner”:
We are committed to the use of open source tools and standards
whenever possible, and would be pleased to partner with peer institutions on any
web extension, from the deaccessioning database to the Dashboard to other new
projects in the pipeline.
Memo to every art museum in the country: Hold Max to this!
