MUSEUM
FotoWare secures lasting values
The museum’s task is to care for its
collections in the best possible way, so
that they will remain available in the
future. Objects and exhibits must also
be made available both for internal
use and to the public. Traditionally, a
museum’s collections have only been
made available through exhibitions, in
which only a fraction of the artifacts are
put on display. The Internet, however,
has paved the way for a whole new way
of exhibiting a museum’s collections.
It lets museums reach a much larger
audience and enables them to exhibit
their entire collections if need be.
FotoWare helps museums and other
organizations that need to safeguard
digitized collections for the future to
organize and to share this information
effectively.
There is time and money to be saved
by automating the important process
of archiving. A FotoWare system can be
configured to automate processes for
adding metadata, processing images
and other media files and for sharing
them with the public and other users.

FotoWare’s archiving solutions have
helped more than a hundred museums all over the world organize and
publish images of a large number of
greatly diverse collections.
Being able to document entire collections and exhibitions, and to keep track
of any changes that have been made is
important for museums. A FotoWare
system safeguards that information
and makes it easy to retrieve.
Digitizing such information makes
work easier for both students and
museum employees:
• Important documentation; for example
for an exhibition this may include:
- When
- Where
- Which artist
- Which items/pictures
• Projects and work in progress
• Restoration and maintenance processes
• Exhibitions
• Moving and reassembling constructions
and objects
FotoWare can easily be adapted to
conform to any international library and museum authorities’
standards. Since it is based on
the XMP metadata standard it
can be tailored to each individual customer’s needs.
For small organizations, such as local
historical societies, FotoWare’s solutions for small companies are invaluable for handling archiving and retrieval.
For many museums and local authorities, feedback and information from
the public is an important source of
information for images and artifacts.
Members of the public can easily send
comments on images to the museum,
which will receive this information
linked to a particular image. This is a
useful way to obtain information from
the public that would otherwise have
been lost.
To make sorting and retrieving images easier, it is possible to add
markers such as a local authority coat
of arms, a national flag or any custom
marker.
FotoWare’s solutions can also be used
as a tool for communication with contributors of historical photographs, objects and artifacts.
Daily tasks such as file transfers and
uploading to the Internet, plus a host of
other operations can be set up as automated workflows that require a minimum of user intervention.
This saves time for employees and
ensures that the job is done correctly
every time.
