ok I'll put something together for next week. Anyone else want to be added to
the list of people I will email? My workplace is a bit conservative when it
comes to posting things on sites such as slideshare, so I may have to send
things out in the old school way such as an attachment.

Hi all
We use Mimsy XG at the Australian War Memorial, which has condition and
conservation modules. I'd be happy to share how we record our treatments if
that would help.

Hi Nick, Lauren, all
Two things. Firstly, this is something we're also really interested in and
would be keen to hear what you discover, as well as any more info on the TMS
conservation module. Secondly, are you really using a Blackberry Nick?!

Dear Lauren,
I recently had sight of a really exciting product under development by Gallery
Systems as part of TMS which integrates Conservation processes alongside
Collections management so it might be worth making contact with them.
More generally, at the Collections Trust we are hoping to see more of this kind
of integration - conservation is one of the most intensive knowledge-generating
activities in a museum, but very often this in-depth knowledge of the object
can be held separately, not recorded or not made available to the public.
I'm really interested to hear how you get on with this, so do let us know how
it goes via the list.

Hello,
We are looking at a proposal for the conservation module in our database. The
proposal currently separates the following into four fields: Proposed
Treatment, Proposed Materials, Treatment, and Treatment Materials. I'm
wondering what other institutions follow the practice of separating treatment
from treatment materials, and how they find it useful. Any feedback would be
appreciated.

Plus yes - BlackBerry is back on the up over here! Interesting how many app

The Art Libraries Society of North America presents the seventh issue of its
newest publication, the Multimedia & Technology Reviews, an e-publication made
freely available on the ARLIS/NA website.
The April 2015 issue includes the following:
Bomb Weekly App by Hannah Marshall
Curarium by William Blueher
Design Other 90 Network by Yvette Cortes
Khan Academy Partner Content - Museums by Elizabeth Lovero
Urbanology by Kathy Edwards
RISS Review: Visual Thesaurus by Amy Ballmer
World Digital Library - Arts Section by Jacqueline Protka
The Multimedia & Technology Reviews (M&T Reviews) targets projects, products,
events, and issues within the broad realm of multimedia and technology as they
pertain to arts scholarship, research, and librarianship. While assessing
current products and projects, these reviews are also designed to engage
readers in a conversation about how technologies and multimedia are being or
can be deployed within our profession and by our constituents. The issues are
published bi-monthly, alternating with the publication schedule of the ARLIS/NA
Reviews.
M&T Reviews is managed by co-editors Hannah Bennett, Elizabeth Schaub, and
Emilee Mathews, who also serves as the appointed liaison to the ARLIS/NA
Reference and Information Services Section (RISS) to ensure that an area of the
M&T Reviews directly reflects the sorts of tools and resources of interest to
the RISS membership. Reviews are written by volunteer reviewers, and elected by
the M&T Reviews co-editors. One does not need to be a member of ARLIS/NA or a
professional librarian in order to get involved with this publication. Those
interested in volunteering to review are encouraged to read over the
publication's policies and guidelines.
Questions about the reviews, getting involved, or the general management of the
publication may be directed to Hannah Bennett.

Hi All:
For a number of years we've been digitizing plant images from staff,
departmental and institutional collections at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
Working with a number of other institutions we created and implemented some
standardized terms and abbreviations for the various parts of plants featured
in these images.
Recently we expanded our efforts and began digitizing a fairly robust
collection of images documenting the history of the Chicago Botanic Garden from
a people, place and event standpoint. Can any of you provide links to accepted
metadata definitions and terms for these non-plant images?
Many thanks,

Dear Lauren,
In our conservation database (Conservation Tracker) we do separate the
"treatment" narrative from "materials", but we use materials to record the
composition of the object and not necessarily the materials used in treatment.
However the same idea applies -- my goal was to find a way to record materials
as "terms" to make indexing and searching easier (especially if the materials
field could be a drop-down list or multi-check combo box). Our conservators
frequently want to search by material.
Here is a partial list of the fields we use for treatment report types. We also
have examination, loan, technical analysis and survey report types which share
many of the same fields as the treatment report but have additional, unique
fields as well.
Let me know if you want to discuss further, I'm always interested in others
applications of conservation data!
Thanks, Kate

Hi Boyce,
We worked on this at the Brooklyn Museum a couple of years ago and came up with
our own template -- there's nothing out there that's a "standard." My email to
the people who responded to my inquiry -- pretty much parallel to yours -- is
below. I'll send you the project documentation and template directly (and would
be glad to share with others who respond to me at
deborah.wy...@brooklynmuseum.org).
We've started loading images and data into our DAMS for the BM_Life collection
and it's going smoothly, though the metadata creation is much more intensive
than when working with the object collections, where we're drawing much of the
description from our collections system. I'll know more about how well it works
for access purposes once we release it to the full staff -- some tech steps
still have to happen for that.

Subject: Museum_Life metadata template
A bit more
than a year ago, you all responded to my inquiry below about a metadata
template for candid photography. Two intrepid grad interns, Mary Curran and
Diana Krell, worked on the project in spring 2013, making a great deal of
progress
in identifying necessary fields and proposing controlled vocabularies based on
the needs of our internal ?customers.? The next step, which required me to
carve out some time to work with our Technology staff, was to create the
template within our Luna DAMS and test it with some sample images and data. I
finally accomplished that this winter.
I?m attaching
a spreadsheet with the field structure and some sample data. It?s a fairly
simple many (images) to one (event) relationship, with a number of controlled
vocabularies embedded in each.
Next steps
will be to create event records and batch load images with basic metadata to
link up with them. More detailed description (image notes and keywords) will
probably be added within the DAMS, item by item, though some sets that are more
consistent may be able to have keywords loaded across the batch.
While it?s a
custom template, most of the image fields can be mapped the CDWA. The event
data does not (though I guess you could consider an event a ?work? but that
seems a stretch).
I would be
grateful for any comments or suggestions!

Hello!
We're starting to work on developing a metadata template for what I call
"Museum life" images -- events, activities, people, programs -- so
that we can fold them into our DAMS and make them more accessible to staff. I
recall a session a couple of years ago where there was some discussion of this
topic.
Are you working on this? Have you solved it? I would love to
"convene" a group of folks to compare notes and develop something
that could be a model for others. I have two grad interns who are going to take
on the project in the new year who could compile and report back our findings.

Hi Lauren,
You might want to look at the ConservationSpace system currently under
development through a Mellon grant involving 7 conservation departments from
major museums including NYC?s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
http://www.conservationspace.org/Home.html
ConSpace supports a very flexible templating system that would accommodate
whatever taxonomic structure you care to apply to your exam or treatment file
on an object or the reports you write as a result of those efforts.
Development of the second release of the system is coming along nicely and
demos well. You might consider contacting your local colleagues at the Met for
a look-see. Or e-mail me directly and I can put you in touch with one of the
project?s principle investigators at the National Gallery of Art in Washington,
DC. FULL DISCLOSURE: I was the product manager on that project for several
years.
Love your museum, BTW!!
All best,
-Neal
