Victoria Feeney is the Collections Data Coordinator at the Oakland Museum of California and a first-time presenter. While she jokes her position is “Professional Typo Fixer” the truth is that she manages asset ingestion and metadata across multiple systems while also heading up digital preservation of OMCA’s time-based media. She collaborates with Registrars, Conservators, and Curators to determine the best paths for standardizing data within the museum’s Collections Management System (CMS), DAMS, and Public Portal to ensure clean data and access for both staff and the public.
Victoria is an alum of the University of Washington’s Museology Graduate Program, having specialized in Collections Management and Digital Preservation. During her time in Seattle she worked in Digital Preservation at the UW Library, and held internships at MoPOP and the Puget Sound Navy Museum doing everything from video production and photography to creating custom controlled vocabularies.
