Case Study: The Frick Collection streamlines conservation documentation with Gallery Systems Conservation Studio

The Frick Collection streamlines conservation records with Gallery Systems across 4 report types

The Frick Collection, a renowned New York City museum, faced challenges in managing its conservation documentation across multiple disparate systems like TMS, FileMaker, and Word. This fragmented approach made it difficult for staff to access critical object treatment histories and condition reports, risking data loss and hindering collection care workflows. They partnered with vendor Gallery Systems to find a unified solution.

Gallery Systems implemented its TMS Conservation Studio product to centralize all conservation records within the Frick's existing TMS ecosystem. The solution provided improved data entry through customizable fields and checkboxes, streamlined reporting, and introduced new capabilities like project templates for batch treatments. While specific metrics are not provided, the results included more efficient workflows, easier information access for staff, and a single, reliable system of record. Gallery Systems' software will also be crucial for planning the upcoming major move of the collection.
