Curationist Museum Services

Research shows that many small and medium-size galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAM institutions) are ready to share their collections digitally but lack the financial or human resources necessary to complete the task.

Curationist Foundation meets institutions where they are and helps them overcome obstacles to digital sharing.
This includes:

• Identify & Map Your Digital Assets: Locate your existing digital assets and format them for seamless integration into Curationist’s platform.
• Streamline Workflows: Automate processes for moving, transforming, and updating your data as your collection evolves.
• Increase Global Visibility: Make your collection accessible to a global audience, reaching educators, researchers, and cultural enthusiasts worldwide.
• Collaborate & Connect: Benefit from connections to trusted partners for services like digital imaging, licensing guidance, and taxonomy development.
• Support Institutional Goals: Equip your team with best practices for digital storytelling, audience engagement, and funding sustainability.

Curationist Foundation recognizes that underrepresented voices have been shut out of the process of digitization and sharing due to lack of financial or human resources.

Despite sharing a commitment to open culture, many institutions face significant limitations in their ability to broaden access to their collections through digitization.

Curationist Foundation aids institutions that have thus far been unable to digitize and share their collections so they can participate fully in open culture.

We have a co-application process - if your institution is interested and meets funding criteria, you will be able to co-sign a grant request with us and we’ll help find funding to get the work paid for. You don’t have to pay out of pocket.

We are currently accepting early applications for co-grant funding to cover the cost of the service line for your organization. If your organization is interested in being considered, please go to our Contact page and send us an email.

Curationist Foundation takes a holistic view of an institution, engaging them in a consultative process to resolve obstacles towards fulfilling their participation in open culture.
