The New Orleans Museum of Art will use a $100,000 Project Grant award from the Institute of Museum and Library Services' National Leadership Grants program to hire a Digital Assets Manager. With a completion date of October 31, 2022, the award will support efforts to expand public access to the museum's permanent collection through digital tools and resources.
The Digital Assets Manager will resolve the museum's backlog of pre-pandemic digital processing work and substantially increase the number of collection objects available online. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the museum redirected digital efforts to creating online programming; this award will now support ongoing digital work in the upcoming year as the museum is again able to do so. The manager will expand available digital material and content resulting from pandemic impacts and going forward. The National Leadership Grants program supports projects that address critical needs and advance practices in the museum and library fields.
