Organization, Migration, and Digitization of the McNay Art Museum’s Photography Materials

Abstract

The objectives of this project were to reorganize the image library server of the McNay Art Museum, located in San Antonio, Texas, eradicate duplications, and weed out unnecessary materials. Alongside these objectives, I planned and began execution of the migration of images from the server to Sharepoint and Preservica, depending upon the image file sizes. I added metadata to the images uploaded to Preservica. Besides the images already digitized and located on the server, the McNay Art Museum houses hundreds of undigitized photos, of which I began the process of digitizing and uploading to the appropriate locations.
