Objects & Order ™ for Scholars
For many scholars, including art historians, architectural historians, archeologists, and material culture specialists, objects are at the center of their research. But as they work, images, information, and research for those objects end up scattered across folders, spreadsheets, and docs. The larger the project (a multi-institutional research project, a catalogue raisonné, an archival inventory), the more unwieldy it becomes. Things can get complicated when it's time to plan an exhibition, pull together a list of illustrations and captions, or collaborate with colleagues.
For academic libraries and digital humanities programs supporting scholars in creating and publishing object-based research and digital exhibitions, Objects and Order is a flexible, accessible system that doesn't require technical expertise. It can help researchers turn years of work into something visually compelling and publicly accessible, without the complexities of a large-scale digital project.
With Objects & Order:
- Keep data, images, notes, and documentation together in one space
- Customize data structures and terminology for your research and reference materials
- Build and publish digital exhibitions from your research, with the ability to add notes and annotations to your text
- Share scholarship with students, collaborators, and broader audiences
- Collaborate with colleagues across institutions
- Import and export data via CSV or JSON, and access and download files whenever you need them
Create a Base, your space for research projects, collections, and digital exhibitions.
