Case Study: St. Joseph Museums publishes 45,000 items online and streamlines research with CatalogIt

St. Joseph Museums - Customer Case Study

St. Joseph Museums faced a challenge when the COVID-19 pandemic caused a surge in research requests for their collection of over 200,000 items. Their collections were stored in disparate digital locations, making internal access difficult, and were not publicly accessible online, placing a significant strain on their limited resources. They turned to CatalogIt to help digitize and publish their collections to the web.

Using CatalogIt, the museum migrated its data and swiftly cataloged items, publishing 45,000 objects online. This created a self-service research portal that dramatically streamlined the request process. The solution from CatalogIt saved staff significant time, narrowed the scope of requests, and engaged the community, with 22% of the total collection now publicly accessible.
