United Collections Open Resources for Teaching Special and Museum Collections

Only a small percentage of special and museum collections are displayed to or accessed by the public, yet museums and libraries devote significant resources to their long-term curation and preservation. This open curriculum introduces and explores major issues in collections acquisition, care, access, and digitization. This project was coordinated by Daphne Gallagher, and is the result of a collaboration between the  University of Oregon Libraries and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art , with support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
