Case Study: Tamástslikt Cultural Institute enhances remote collection management with CatalogIt

Tamástslikt Cultural Institute preserves 10,000 years of tribal history with CatalogIt

The Tamástslikt Cultural Institute, a museum dedicated to preserving the heritage of the Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla tribes, faced a significant challenge when its onsite-only CMS prevented staff from working remotely during the pandemic. This limitation severely hindered their ability to document and manage their collections. To overcome this, the Institute chose to migrate to the cloud-based CMS, CatalogIt.

By implementing CatalogIt, the vendor provided a solution that enabled full remote access, allowing staff to work from any location. The migration process was handled by CatalogIt, requiring minimal effort from the Institute. The results were transformative, empowering staff to document collections more efficiently and to incorporate multiple tribal languages into their records. CatalogIt's features also paved the way for future online exhibitions, significantly expanding the accessibility of the Institute's cultural collections to a wider audience.
