DrupalCon Barcelona - GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums) BoF

Posted by alxbridge on September 17, 2015 at 11:09am

A quick heads-up that I've just added a Birds of a Feather session at DrupalCon Barcelona, to discuss Drupal for GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums). If anyone with interest or experience in using Drupal for this is going to be there next week, it'd be great to see you there.

Online Museum of Banana Labels

Posted by mr4711 on November 17, 2014 at 5:33pm

Hi out there,

we need help in theming a new online collection of banana labels: riehl-collection.de. We have a quite boring graphical design so far. And, there are many collectors in Costa Rica and Ecuador who need a mobile version. Support in translation will also help.

Anybody who has fun to contribute this really funny thing?

Museum distribution / installation profile

Posted by gagarine on July 2, 2014 at 12:51am

Hello,

Every Museum/gallery have the same needs. They need a way to manage and display their collection, add event, add exhibitions, sell stuff on a store, blogs,...

This sound like a good match for a Drupal distribution.

Do you know any work already done in this direction?

Regards

OCR of older text

Posted by drneikirk on February 15, 2012 at 2:29pm

Hello,

My organization is looking into using Drupal, so I am very new to this. I have noticed the various modules that would seem very beneficial for us, and one in particular is the OCR (optical character recognition) module for Drupal. My question(s) is has anyone tried out the OCR module on older printed text prior to the mid-nineteenth century, and if so what was your results, and what is your opinion of this module? Are their any other OCR modules that may work within Drupal that are fairly easy to use? I would like to find other options that may be available.

Drupal module for Vesica Collections Management

Posted by meezaan on February 13, 2012 at 7:54pm

I'm looking at working with developers who might be interested in working with our team to build a Drupal module for our SaaS museum collection application - Vesica (http://vesica.ws).

If you'd like to get involved, please reply and we'll be happy to get in touch and send some more details, etc.

Thanks.

Asif.

My museum is reader for change, and we are looking at Drupal. Any developers?

Posted by joshCJM on January 23, 2012 at 6:50pm

I work at the Contemporary Jewish Museum In San Francisco. Currently we are using Joomla for our site, and I am not happy about it at all. Aside from the issues with the CMS, the integration of Raisers Edge, NetCommunity, and Sparx is ridiculous.

I would like for the museum to start looking for something other than Blackbaud products, CiviCRM or the like, however the idea of just changing over from Joomla to something like Drupal is a good step.

TMS integration?

Posted by DamienMcKenna on November 21, 2011 at 9:58pm

Are any Museum sites out there using TMS (The Museum System from Gallery Systems) for their collections management in addition to using Drupal? If so, how are you handling the integration?

Just collections?

Posted by BeWhy on April 3, 2011 at 12:24pm

In addition to collections management, I see that there is an opportunity for Drupal to become a swiss-army knife of sorts for museums.

Specifically I am thinking that using CiviCRM would help museums manage a range of other aspects of their inner workings. This plus perhaps signup, signup integration with ubercart, ubercart (with roles) and a few other things might be the beginnings of a 'total package' that would have to be customized, not built from scratch.

GSOC idea: Integrate Drupal & CollectiveAccess (open source collection management software)

Posted by svendecabooter on March 19, 2011 at 7:20pm

I am currently working on a (set of) module(s) to integrate Drupal with CollectiveAccess, an open source PHP collection management system that is focussed towards cataloguing, maintaining and managing collection data. This software is getting quite some traction with museums, archives and other institutions that require digital collections.
