Objects and Order creates software for museums and collectors.
What inspired an art historian and a designer-developer to found Objects and Order?
A few years ago, Christa was coordinating exhibitions at the Getty Research Institute and Jason was building content management systems for creative agencies, drawing on expertise gained early in his career developing editorial tools at Encyclopedia Britannica.
They founded Objects and Order because they believe museums deserve a flexible system designed specifically to manage collections, organize projects, and create digital content in one space.
Legacy collections management systems were built for entering standard data into standard fields, but there's so much knowledge, activity, and history around collection objects that doesn't "fit" in a traditional CMS. So teams turn to unsatisfactory workarounds, departmental contributions are siloed or lost, and projects take forever.
Objects and Order helps you organize and access the rich object information that matters for your collections and projects, and then actually use your data and media to create and publish engaging digital features.

Her extensive experience organizing and synthesizing object data for research, publication, and exhibition projects informs her deep understanding of workflows around objects.

Jason leads the technical vision at Objects and Order, building on systems expertise he developed early in his career at Encyclopedia Britannica. His experience designing and building content management systems for creative agencies including Blur Studio, Blind, and AlkemyX gave him deep insight into complex content workflows, the same challenges he now solves for cultural institutions.
