With the rollout of a unified digital collections’ ecosystem across the University of Oxford’s four museums with the aim of improving long-term preservation and expanding digital access to collections for research discovery and public engagement, this session explores the journey from fragmented, siloed systems to an integrated service, and the organisational, technical and cultural challenges involved.
Dr Aruna Bhaugeerutty, Head of Digital Collections at the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology and Strategic Lead for Museum Digital Collections at the University of Oxford, reflects on enabling organisational change and leading digital transformation. She is joined in conversation by Janine Biunno, Managing Archivist at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
