• Old object maps not regularly updated
• Manually updating object locations in galleries using powerpoint
• One person in charge of manually updating object maps using powerpoint but not efficient
• Looks confusing, not regularly updated so became out of date
The Problem?

• Separate maps used by showcase designers from 2007 annotated with Showcase numbers assigned by registration but somehow didn’t match those used by conservation
• Galleries team using completely different system – case manufacturer serial numbers
• Over 5 years some Changes to showcase locations on original plans were not updated
• Inconsistent showcase numbers and inaccurate maps
• Caused confusion when departments working together
• Became clear that there was a need for a tool to manage object and showcase maps in a central place

• First step- create showcase records for objects in emu and update object locations
• Then create digital maps of the galleries, plotting showcases in the right place

• Next steps- plot x,y,z coordinates
• Upload maps onto the server
• Train some staff from MIA to be able to plot showcase coordinates
