Small Museum Digitizes Collection

A couple of years ago the Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas began to digitize its collection. They did this for several reasons: to serve the students, to reach out to a broader audience and to gain equal footing with major museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Watch this brief news report from 2005 to see the digitization process in progress. Please click on the following to view: http://www.6newslawrence.com/video/2005/07/19... Then, you will need to search Spencer Art Museum Digitizes.
