BACKGROUND
MOAC began in 1997
when 10 California museums began working with the California Digital
Library to integrate access to collections of art, historical
artifacts, photography, and manuscripts from museums, archives, and
libraries throughout the state. In addition to developing an
unparalleled content resources for research and instruction, MOAC had
a second, equally important, goal of developing best practices for
museums so that museums of all sizes and types could cost-effectively
participate in the "digital revolution" and provide
sophisticated, standards-based access to their collections. The
Institute of Museum and Library Services generously funded a MOAC
testbed project from 1999-2001. MOAC has developed into a growing
community of like-minded museums and archives in California who
continue to participate in several projects which further the initial
goals of the group. Detailed documents describing the project can be
found under "Project Documentation" on the project
website.
