More about this Gallery Systems project

eMuseum Network is a search and collaboration platform designed and hosted by Gallery Systems. The project enables member museums to share their collections catalogues and to search and export data across all participating collections from a single access point, in a share-and-share-alike fashion. The project is continuously evolving, with plans to incorporate exhibitions information and collaboration tools for co-organizers and venues of multi-venue exhibitions.

Who can participate?

Potentially, any cultural institution can participate, but participation in the eMuseum Network is currently by invitation only or upon request. Only institutions that are sharing collections data will be allowed to enter the network to access data. Each participating institution can decide how much of their collection to make available. For example, it would be possible to include data only on objects that are already included on a public Web site or to make more data available to a scholarly audience. Participants will be asked to make collections information available and we plan to include a forum for discussion so that participants can share ideas.
