Includes records related to the Collections Research Enhancement Project (CREP) stream of the MRP. The purpose of this stream was to “provide enhanced access (visual, physical, and virtual) to the Museum’s collections,” with the following specific objectives:
• To bring all of the 35,000 Multi-MIMSY (database) collections records up to a consistent and standardized level
• To digitize all of MOA’s 35,000 objects, in a format appropriate for research access, according to a digitization strategy that will be developed as part of a coordinated MRP-wide IT strategy
• To develop a mounting system which facilitates object access while maintaining a high level of conservation standards, and to mount objects which require it according to this system
• To provide collections information in a format appropriate for research through the Reciprocal Research Network (RRN)
• To develop a flexible process for responding to originating communities regarding collections access, and to organize MOA’s objects within the Research Suite and visible storage in such a way as to facilitate that response
(purpose and objectives of the CREP stream taken from the MRP Program Scope Definition, 1.2.)
