ANTH 465 - Interactive Technologies and the Museum

3 SS, CD, WR
First Semester. In this course we will survey the many ways in which modern museums use interactive technologies to maintain their collections and make them accessible to researchers and the public. Topics will include collection management issues, the presentation of museum materials in exhibitions, educational programs, and digitization projects that provide online access to collections and associated documentary materials. Students will have an opportunity to work with the department’s ethnographic collections and participate in a project to digitize these holdings so they may receive wider exposure and use.
