CollectionSpace is a free, open-source collections management system used by many museums and other cultural institutions. It was created in 2008 as an affordable alternative to expensive proprietary systems. While libraries, archives, and museums all collect cultural materials, their specific missions and practices differ. CollectionSpace's data model is based on a common standard but allows customization for different domains through extensions, including for natural history, art, and new media collections. This provides common data elements across institutions while accommodating their unique needs.

Comparative Study and Expansion of Metadata Standards for Historic Fashion Co...Visual Resources Association
VRA 2023 Collections Management in Fashion and Media session. Presenter: Wen Nie Ng
The goal of the paper is to enhance the metadata standard of fashion collections by expanding the controlled vocabulary and metadata elements for Costume Core, a metadata schema designed specifically for fashion artifacts. Various techniques are employed to achieve this goal, including identifying new descriptors using word embedding similarity measurements and adding new descriptive terms for precise artifact descriptions to use when re-cataloging a university fashion collection in Costume Core. The paper also provides a sneak peek of the Model Output Confirmative Helper Application, which simplifies the vocabulary review process. Additionally, a survey was conducted to collect insights into how other fashion professionals use metadata when describing dress artifacts. The survey results reveal 1) commonly used metadata standards in the historic fashion domain; 2) sample metadata respondents use; and 3) partial potential metadata that can be appended to Costume Core, which is relevant to Virginia Tech's Oris Glisson Historic Costume and Textile Collection. The expanded Costume Core resulting from the project offers a more comprehensive way of describing fashion collection holdings/artifacts. It has the potential to be adopted by the fashion collections to produce metadata that is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.Unsettling Collections: Bias in the Visual Canon
VRA 2023 Adventures in Critical Cataloging session. Presenters: Sara Schumacher and Millicent Fullmer
This paper will cover the results of a research study looking at visual resources professionals' perceptions of the visual canon at their institutions and their actions confronting biases in their visual collections. This research is innovative because the "visual canon" as a concept is often evoked but rarely defined, and there has not been research into perceptions and practices that span different types of cultural heritage institutions. The researchers seek to focus on the role of the visual resources professional as a potential change-maker in confronting bias and transforming the “visual canon.” In our presentation, we will discuss the analysis of our survey and interviews around three key research questions: What barriers do visual resources professionals perceive in remedying the biases in the visual canon? What authorities, past and present, do they identify in shaping the visual canon? How do they approach teaching users to identify and critically confront these issues? We will highlight trends as well as unique concerns and solutions from our research participants and engage our audience with how these issues impact their own collections, policies, and instruction.
The Medieval Kingdom of Sicily Image Database Project: From Concept to Reality
The Medieval Kingdom of Sicily Image Database Project: From Concept to RealityVisual Resources Association
VRA 2023 Beyond the Classroom: Developing Image Databases for Research session. Presenter: John J. Taormina
The Medieval Kingdom of Sicily Image Database project collects historic images of the medieval monuments of South Italy, from the so-called Kingdom of Sicily dating from c. 950 to c. 1430, during the Norman, Hohenstaufen, Angevin, and early Aragonese periods. The project was begun in 2011, as part of a 3-year Collaborative Research Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, under project investigators Caroline Bruzelius, Duke University, and William Tronzo, University of California, San Diego.
The site features over 8,000 historical images in a range of media, including drawings, paintings, engravings, photographs, and plans and elevations culled from museums, archives, and libraries in Europe and America, often from the Grand Tour, as well as from available publications. The value of the database lies in making accessible to scholars the visual documentation of changes to historical sites because the medieval monuments of South Italy have been damaged, changed, and restored on many occasions, with tombs and liturgical furnishings often destroyed, dismantled, or removed. In fact, many of the 600 monuments no longer exist, often bombed during World War II or destroyed in earthquakes, or obscured by modern buildings and urban sprawl.Interactive Topography with IIIF: Open Access to Photographs from the Ernest ...

The Ernest Nash collection documents ancient Roman architecture in pre- and post-World War II Italy. What made Nash's work significant, beyond capturing the present state of the ancient Roman monuments at a volatile historical moment, was the primacy of the topographical photography and the systematic order he brought to this subject. The American Academy's Photographic Archive contributed Nash's images to an open access, interactive website called the "Urban Legacy of Ancient Rome." It reveals the city in stunning detail and uses geo-referencing to provide the viewer with a better understanding of the overall contextual and spatial logic. These Nash images and metadata are also IIIF compatible. As the Academy continues to digitize and describe the full collection of about 30,000 images, thanks to the generous support of the Kress Foundation, a new partnership has developed with Archivision and vrcHost. Current high quality digital photographs of the same ancient Roman monuments are being added to compare with the historical images documenting architectural changes--whether conserved, restored, altered, reconstructed, re-sited or destroyed. This presentation will provide a progress report about what it takes to move new digital photography into IIIF and the various tools available for close examination and presentation. Finding ways to provide ready access and juxtapose historic and contemporary photography online, builds upon the legacy of Nash's quality curation and scholarship to create 21st century, accessible, online educational resources of great interest and utility to scholars, students, and a wide audience of ancient Roman enthusiasts.Recreating a 19th-Century Spectacle: The 3D Glass Stereo Project

Cradle of Texas Gay Liberty: An Alternate History of the Alamo City
VRA 2023 Keynote. Presenter: Melissa Gohlke
A historical record that focuses on white, heteronormative society and events obscures many facets of San Antonio history. Peel back the veneer of normalcy and one can find rich, diverse, and unexpected strands of the city’s past. From female impersonators of the early 1900s to queer life in derelict spaces during the 1960s and finally, gay and lesbian bar culture of the1970s and beyond, the hidden threads of San Antonio’s history reveal themselves. In this presentation, LGBTQ Historian Melissa Gohlke explores these hidden histories and stitches together an alternative interpretation of the city’s historical narrative by examining a wealth of primary sources found in archives and personal collections.
About the speaker:
Melissa Gohlke is an urban historian who specializes in San Antonio LGBTQ+ history. For over a decade, Gohlke has been researching queer history in San Antonio and South Texas and sharing her passion for this history through extensive outreach activities such as presentations, media interactions, exhibits, and written work. Gohlke is the Assistant Archivist for UTSA Libraries Special Collections.

VRA 2023 Beyond the Classroom: Developing Image Databases for Research session. Presenter: Mark Pompelia
Material Order is an academic consortium of material sample collections (including wood, metal, glass, ceramic, polymers, plastics, textiles, bio-materials, etc.—any material that might be used in or considered for art, architecture, and design disciplines) founded by the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University and Fleet Library at Rhode Island School of Design and now comprising several more institutions in the US. It provides a community-based approach to management and access to material collections utilizing and developing standards and best practices. Material Order created the Materials Profile that serves as a shared cataloging tool on the LYRASIS CollectionSpace platform and can be further developed as the different needs of consortium members are identified. Open Web searching across all collections occurs via a front-end discovery portal built with Wordpress at materialorder.org.
The Material Order project was born from the acknowledgment that resource sharing and collaborative catalogs are the most promising approach to exploration and implementation. It was always the intent, now actualized, for partner institutions with different mission and scope to compel the project to consider and accommodate criteria such as material health ecologies, fabrication possibilities, and overlap into adjacent fields such as engineering and archeology. Thus, Material Order represents not just items on a shelf but a knowledge-base of compositions, uses, forms, and properties. No longer in its infancy, Material Order provides a shared and adaptable framework for managing collections across the consortium and optimal facilitation of materials-based research and exploration for art, architecture, and design applications.Personal Archiving for Undergraduate Students
VRA 2023 New Frontiers in Visual Resources session. Presenters: Meghan Rubenstein and Kate Leonard
The Art Department at Colorado College is piloting a Personal Archiving program in select undergraduate studio courses that combines visual and digital literacy instruction with personal reflection and professional development. Meghan Rubenstein, Curator of Visual Resources, and Kate Leonard, Professor of Art, will discuss the drive behind this initiative to develop student competencies within a liberal arts setting. We will share our ongoing iterative process as well as select student activities and learning outcomes that may be adopted to various institutions.
Disinformation and Deepfakes: The Urgent Need for Visual Literacy
VRA 2022 Teaching Visual Literacy session. Presenter: Molly Schoen
Our everyday lives are more saturated in images and videos than any other time in human history. This fact alone underscores the need to implement visual literacy skills in all stages of education, from pre-K to post-grad. Learning how to read images with critical, analytical eyes is crucial to understanding the world around us as we see it represented in the news, social media, advertisements, etc. New technologies have exasperated this already urgent need for visual literacy education. Synthetic media, deepfakes, APIs, bot farms, and other forms of artificial intelligence have many innovative uses, but bad actors also use them to fan the flames of disinformation. We have seen the grave consequences from this age of disinformation, from undermining elections to attempts to delegitimize science and doctors, undoubtedly raising the death toll from the COVID-19 pandemic. What do we need to know about these new forms of altered images made by artificial intelligence? How do we discern between real, human-made content versus fakes made by computers, which are becoming more and more difficult to discern? This paper aims to raise awareness of how new forms of visual media can manipulate and deceive the viewer. Audience participants will learn how to empower themselves and their peers into being more savvy consumers of visual materials by understanding the basics of AI and recognizing the characteristics of faked media.
Jean Charlot: Artist as Archivist
VRA 2022 Individual Papers Session. Presenter: Malia Van Heukelem
This case study of a large artist archive at a medium sized academic research library will connect the success of the artist serving as his own archivist and the collection's broad research appeal locally, nationally and internationally. Like many artists, there is so much more than his own work represented. There is correspondence, fine art prints, ephemera of other artists and writers hidden in the collection. The foundation of organization is in place; now the focus is on creating online access points through finding aids and image collections. The presentation will explore the use of ArchivesSpace, Omeka, and other software to increase access. It will also demonstrate how a solo archivist can leverage interns, student assistants, and volunteers for collections management projects that benefit both the institutional priorities and desired learning outcomes. This talk will delve into the challenges of 20th century visual resource collections such as copyright and engagement with donors. Featuring a local artist has brought other art and architecture collections to the library, without clear boundaries which has led to questions of sustainability, who and what is collected. There is definitely a need to balance the historical record and yet, there are already more archival collections accessioned than can be responsibly managed by one person. The primary collection does include works by women and artists of color, yet much descriptive work remains to forefront the diversity contained within. As an archivist and librarian at a public university, there are many competing demands for collections management, support of researchers, and instruction plus the added interest for exhibition loans and the desire for other artists and architects to be represented. This artist archive is both interesting and complex.

This document summarizes an art history course titled "Pattern & Representation: Critical Cataloging for a New Perspective on Campus History" taught at Oklahoma State University. The course examines major developments in American art across different media from European contact through the mid-20th century. As part of the course, students are divided into groups to create digital exhibitions cataloging artworks from university newspaper archives between certain years. Students must include contextual information and link their entries to related articles. Their entries and a reflective essay are graded individually based on their work plan. The course introduces the concept of "critical cataloging" to bring social justice perspectives to archival and metadata work.Stories from the Stop (and Re-Start?): Visual Resources Professionals Face Re...

During the past year, the “Great Resignation” (aka. The “Big Quit”) has roiled the world of employment nationwide in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had already caused job losses among our membership. While many institutions and individuals now hope for a “return to normal,” others anticipate that the past two years mark a watershed necessitating further transformational changes in the years ahead. These larger employment trends have come on top of quantum shifts in the visual resources field itself, as traditional tasks give way to new responsibilities, and siloed image collections are replaced by interdisciplinary projects.
For several years, our annual conferences have featured the perspectives of newer professionals in “Stories from the Start.” Looking at the opposite ends of their career arcs, this session brings together the perspectives and experiences of two pre-pandemic retirees, two of our members who made their decisions to retire during the past year, and two currently active professionals whose retirements are pending in the near future. When and why did they make their decisions to retire? What was/is the actual process? Concerns? What comes next after we leave our offices for the last time?Supporting Art History Students' Digital Projects at American University
Supporting Art History Students' Digital Projects at American UniversityVisual Resources Association
VRA 2022 Digital Art History session. Presenters: Melissa Becher and Samuel Sadow
In 2019, the art history program at American University gave its masters students a new option for the capstone project that is the culmination of the degree: create a digital project on an art historical topic using Omeka S or Wordpress. Initially, only a single student chose to complete a digital capstone over a traditional thesis, but within two years there was near parity between the two options, meaning seven digital capstones for the 2021 cohort. To support these projects, a close partnership quickly developed between the University’s library, the visual resources center, and the archives. This session covers how three campus units coordinate that support for these innovative digital humanities projects, including administration of the platforms, instruction, technical support, preservation, and access to the final projects. The session will also showcase examples of student work to demonstrate the variety and creativity of projects that can be accomplished using these platforms, as well as their contributions to the field of art history. The outcome of this initiative is clear: the best of digital humanities, weaving design and technology with rigorous art historical research, and finished projects that have already resulted in successful job applications in the field.Material Objects and Special Collections
VRA 2022 Material Objects and Special Collections session. Presenters: Allan T. Kohl and Jackie Spafford
Materials-based collections represent a challenging new mode of information management in terms of subject specialization, physical description and accommodation, and institutional mission. Building upon the successful introductory meeting of this Group in Los Angeles at the 2019 Conference, the goal of this SIG is to provide a forum for open discussion of Material and Object Collections and their relationship to various library/visual resources tasks. The Material and Object Collections SIG provides an opportunity for individuals working with a variety of materials and objects collections – including those that support art and art history courses, those that support architecture and design courses, and those in cultural heritage organizations – to share ideas, issues, and potential solutions in regard to tasks similar to common library/visual resources activities (including cataloging, documentation, staffing, outreach), as well as more specialized concerns relating to the management of physical objects (security, storage and retrieval, the design of user spaces, etc.).
By continuing to offer an opportunity for participants to share brief introductions and profiles of their collections, we hope to encourage networking and exchange information about sources for specialized items; to display sample items and share surplus samples with other collections; and to provide examples of successful solutions to typical problems. Our long-range goal is to maintain an ongoing support group that can be of particular benefit to those professionals who are in the beginning stages of building or organizing physical collections.

VRA 2022 Digital Art History session. Presenter: Kayla Olson
This paper discusses a study (completed in the spring of 2021) which explores how common the use of Qualitative Data Analysis software (QDAS) is among two kinds of object-based researchers: art historians and archaeologists. Surveys were disseminated in a snowball fashion and contained open and closed questions. The questions sought to give participants a platform to describe if, why, and how they use programs like Atlas.ti, NVivo, Dedoose, and MAXQDA throughout their research process. While not QDAS, the image management application Tropy was also included. The author hopes that the anonymized responses will prompt discussion among professionals in academic librarianship and visual resources management about the possible impact of these digital tools on researchers in these disciplines. The question remains on whether researchers in art and material culture disciplines would benefit more from QDAS if participants were aware of: 1) Their existence and 2) Their ability to help organize artifact data and to assist in performing image-based analysis.Describing Art on the Street: The Graffiti Art Community Voice
VRA 2022 Critical Cataloging Conversations in Teaching, Research, and Practice session. Presenter: Ann M. Graf, Assistant Professor of Library and Information Science, Simmons University
In the field of information science, we strive to provide access to information through the most efficient means possible. This is often done through the use of controlled vocabularies for description of subjects, and, in the case of art objects, for the identification of styles, processes, materials, and types. My research has examined the sufficiency of controlled vocabularies such as the Art and Architecture Thesaurus (AAT) for description of graffiti art processes and products. This research is evolving as the AAT is responding to warrant for a broader set of terms to represent outsider art communities such as the graffiti art community. The methods used to study terminological warrant by examining the language of the graffiti art community are helpful to give voice to artists who work outside the traditional art institution, allowing the way that they talk about their work and how they describe it to become part of the common discourse. It is hoped that this research will inspire others who design and supplement controlled vocabularies for use in the arts to give priority in descriptive practice to those who have been historically underrepresented or made invisible by default use of terminology that does not speak to their experiences.

VRA 2022 Session. Presenter: Douglas Peterson
In 2021, the National Archives of Estonia engaged Digital Transitions’ Service division, Pixel Acuity, to build an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool to analyze part of its historic record. The objective was to use this tool to enhance their collection with descriptive metadata that identified persons of interest in a collection of over 8,000 photographic glass plate negatives, a task that would ordinarily take years of human labor. In this presentation, we discuss our approach to accurately detecting and identifying human subjects in transmissive media, our initial findings using commercially available AI models, and the subsequent refinements made to our workflow to generate the most accurate metadata. In addition to working with commercially available AI models, we developed strategies for validation of AI-generated results without additional human supervision, and explored the benefits of building bespoke, heritage-specific AI models. By combining all of these tools, we developed a highly customized solution that greatly expedited accurate metadata generation with minimal human oversight, operated efficiently on large collections, and supported discovery of novel content within the archive.Crowdsourcing Collection Development
VRA 2022 Community Building Session. Presenter: Dacia Metes
Queens Memory is an ongoing community archiving program that engages with our local communities in our two-fold mission to (1) push local history collections out to the public through programming and online resources, and (2) pull new materials into our collections from the diverse communities of Queens, NYC. The COVID-19 pandemic forced us to close our buildings, cease all in-person work and programming and shift our work to the virtual world. Our team quickly modified our processing workflow and asset tracking with the high volume of crowd-sourced donations coming through new online submission forms, set up in a rapid response to capture the stories coming from the pandemic’s first epicenter in the U.S. In my proposed conference session, I will discuss how we planned and managed the shift to fully online collection development. I will talk about our virtual outreach efforts to engage with the community and get them to contribute their materials, and how we developed the online tools and processes that allowed us to collect photographs, oral history interviews and other audio/visual materials, while also capturing the necessary metadata and consent forms. New internal communications channels, roles for volunteers, and triage processing for publication resulted from these efforts and are now essential parts of the team’s practices.
Accessibility Guidance for Digital Cultural Heritage
The document summarizes a workshop on accessibility guidance for digital cultural heritage collections. The workshop consists of two hours which include presentations on accessibility requirements and workflow strategies, a breakout activity where participants practice creating accessible descriptions for images, and a wrap-up discussion. The presentations cover topics such as common barriers to accessibility, guidelines for making images, video, audio and documents accessible, and best practices for incorporating accessibility into workflows. The breakout activity has participants work in groups to write alt-text and accessibility descriptions for sample images from online collections.
CCO (Cataloging Cultural Objects): Why CCO?
CCO (Cataloging Cultural Objects) is a content standard that provides guidance for formatting and entering metadata values and terms to create shareable metadata for cultural heritage collections. It was developed in the late 1990s/early 2000s in response to questions from catalogers using the VRA Core standard and Getty vocabularies about how to properly format terms. While inspired by these standards, CCO can be used with any controlled vocabulary or data structure. It aims to improve discovery, retrieval, and access of cultural heritage collections through common practices and support for linked open data. The general guidelines also provide advice on structuring local databases and defining hierarchical relationships in controlled vocabularies.
CCO (Cataloging Cultural Objects): Structuring and Storing Data with CCO
CCO (Cataloging Cultural Objects): Structuring and Storing Data with CCOVisual Resources Association
The document discusses key principles for cataloging cultural objects using Cataloging Cultural Objects (CCO). It summarizes Principle 3 to follow CCO rules and make additional local rules to effectively retrieve, repurpose, and exchange data. It then discusses using controlled vocabularies, creating local authorities, using metadata standards, understanding different cataloging functions, and consistently establishing relationships between works. The document stresses planning for growth when adding new objects and relationships over time.CCO (Cataloging Cultural Objects): Incorporating CCO in Your Workflow
This document discusses approaches for introducing efficiency and automation to cultural object cataloging workflows using Cataloging Cultural Objects (CCO) standards. It provides examples of using microthesauri, controlled vocabularies, functions, formulas and other tools to automate data creation and repurposing for indexing and display. Methods like spreadsheets, databases, XML and other technologies can help transform and map data for interoperability while following CCO best practices.
CCO (Cataloging Cultural Objects): Applying CCO
The document discusses the ten key principles of Cataloging Cultural Objects (CCO) for cataloging objects in museum collections. It focuses on Principle 1, which is to establish logical relationships between work, collection, and image records. An example is provided of a stereoscope card depicting the Taj Mahal that would have collection, work, and image records linked together. Relationships can be indicated through record links or controlled vocabularies. Principle 2 is also covered, which is to include all required CCO elements in records, such as title, creator, and date. CCO elements are aligned with standards like VRA Core.
Emerging Voices Lightning Round 2021
The Emerging Voices Lightning Round Session provides emerging professionals in the visual resources field and related, the opportunity to present topics from exceptional coursework, such as a master's thesis, or topics with which they are engaged early in their professional life. Emerging professionals are defined as either students in programs leading to a career in visual resources or related, or those within 10 years of the start of their career. Topics presented reveal new ideas as well as different ways of thinking about established concepts. Speakers will give the conference attendees a glimpse of interests and current discourses of the newest VRA members.

From female impersonators of the early 1900s to queer life in derelict spaces during the 1960s and finally, gay and lesbian bar culture of the1970s and beyond, the hidden threads of San Antonio’s history reveal themselves. In this presentation, LGBTQ Historian Melissa Gohlke explores these hidden histories and stitches together an alternative interpretation of the city’s historical narrative by examining a wealth of primary sources found in archives and personal collections.

VRA 2023 Beyond the Classroom: Developing Image Databases for Research session. Presenter: Mark Pompelia
Material Order is an academic consortium of material sample collections (including wood, metal, glass, ceramic, polymers, plastics, textiles, bio-materials, etc.—any material that might be used in or considered for art, architecture, and design disciplines) founded by the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University and Fleet Library at Rhode Island School of Design and now comprising several more institutions in the US. It provides a community-based approach to management and access to material collections utilizing and developing standards and best practices. Material Order created the Materials Profile that serves as a shared cataloging tool on the LYRASIS CollectionSpace platform and can be further developed as the different needs of consortium members are identified. Open Web searching across all collections occurs via a front-end discovery portal built with Wordpress at materialorder.org.
The Material Order project was born from the acknowledgment that resource sharing and collaborative catalogs are the most promising approach to exploration and implementation. It was always the intent, now actualized, for partner institutions with different mission and scope to compel the project to consider and accommodate criteria such as material health ecologies, fabrication possibilities, and overlap into adjacent fields such as engineering and archeology. Thus, Material Order represents not just items on a shelf but a knowledge-base of compositions, uses, forms, and properties. No longer in its infancy, Material Order provides a shared and adaptable framework for managing collections across the consortium and optimal facilitation of materials-based research and exploration for art, architecture, and design applications.Personal Archiving for Undergraduate Students
VRA 2023 New Frontiers in Visual Resources session. Presenters: Meghan Rubenstein and Kate Leonard
The Art Department at Colorado College is piloting a Personal Archiving program in select undergraduate studio courses that combines visual and digital literacy instruction with personal reflection and professional development. Meghan Rubenstein, Curator of Visual Resources, and Kate Leonard, Professor of Art, will discuss the drive behind this initiative to develop student competencies within a liberal arts setting. We will share our ongoing iterative process as well as select student activities and learning outcomes that may be adopted to various institutions.
Disinformation and Deepfakes: The Urgent Need for Visual Literacy
VRA 2022 Teaching Visual Literacy session. Presenter: Molly Schoen
Our everyday lives are more saturated in images and videos than any other time in human history. This fact alone underscores the need to implement visual literacy skills in all stages of education, from pre-K to post-grad. Learning how to read images with critical, analytical eyes is crucial to understanding the world around us as we see it represented in the news, social media, advertisements, etc. New technologies have exasperated this already urgent need for visual literacy education. Synthetic media, deepfakes, APIs, bot farms, and other forms of artificial intelligence have many innovative uses, but bad actors also use them to fan the flames of disinformation. We have seen the grave consequences from this age of disinformation, from undermining elections to attempts to delegitimize science and doctors, undoubtedly raising the death toll from the COVID-19 pandemic. What do we need to know about these new forms of altered images made by artificial intelligence? How do we discern between real, human-made content versus fakes made by computers, which are becoming more and more difficult to discern? This paper aims to raise awareness of how new forms of visual media can manipulate and deceive the viewer. Audience participants will learn how to empower themselves and their peers into being more savvy consumers of visual materials by understanding the basics of AI and recognizing the characteristics of faked media.
Jean Charlot: Artist as Archivist
VRA 2022 Individual Papers Session. Presenter: Malia Van Heukelem
This case study of a large artist archive at a medium sized academic research library will connect the success of the artist serving as his own archivist and the collection's broad research appeal locally, nationally and internationally. Like many artists, there is so much more than his own work represented. There is correspondence, fine art prints, ephemera of other artists and writers hidden in the collection. The foundation of organization is in place; now the focus is on creating online access points through finding aids and image collections. The presentation will explore the use of ArchivesSpace, Omeka, and other software to increase access. It will also demonstrate how a solo archivist can leverage interns, student assistants, and volunteers for collections management projects that benefit both the institutional priorities and desired learning outcomes. This talk will delve into the challenges of 20th century visual resource collections such as copyright and engagement with donors. Featuring a local artist has brought other art and architecture collections to the library, without clear boundaries which has led to questions of sustainability, who and what is collected. There is definitely a need to balance the historical record and yet, there are already more archival collections accessioned than can be responsibly managed by one person. The primary collection does include works by women and artists of color, yet much descriptive work remains to forefront the diversity contained within. As an archivist and librarian at a public university, there are many competing demands for collections management, support of researchers, and instruction plus the added interest for exhibition loans and the desire for other artists and architects to be represented. This artist archive is both interesting and complex.

Pattern and Representation: Critical Cataloging for a New Perspective on Camp...Visual Resources Association
This document summarizes an art history course titled "Pattern & Representation: Critical Cataloging for a New Perspective on Campus History" taught at Oklahoma State University. The course examines major developments in American art across different media from European contact through the mid-20th century. As part of the course, students are divided into groups to create digital exhibitions cataloging artworks from university newspaper archives between certain years. Students must include contextual information and link their entries to related articles. Their entries and a reflective essay are graded individually based on their work plan. The course introduces the concept of "critical cataloging" to bring social justice perspectives to archival and metadata work.Stories from the Stop (and Re-Start?): Visual Resources Professionals Face Re...

During the past year, the “Great Resignation” (aka. The “Big Quit”) has roiled the world of employment nationwide in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had already caused job losses among our membership. While many institutions and individuals now hope for a “return to normal,” others anticipate that the past two years mark a watershed necessitating further transformational changes in the years ahead. These larger employment trends have come on top of quantum shifts in the visual resources field itself, as traditional tasks give way to new responsibilities, and siloed image collections are replaced by interdisciplinary projects.
For several years, our annual conferences have featured the perspectives of newer professionals in “Stories from the Start.” Looking at the opposite ends of their career arcs, this session brings together the perspectives and experiences of two pre-pandemic retirees, two of our members who made their decisions to retire during the past year, and two currently active professionals whose retirements are pending in the near future. When and why did they make their decisions to retire? What was/is the actual process? Concerns? What comes next after we leave our offices for the last time?Supporting Art History Students' Digital Projects at American University

VRA 2022 Digital Art History session. Presenters: Melissa Becher and Samuel Sadow
In 2019, the art history program at American University gave its masters students a new option for the capstone project that is the culmination of the degree: create a digital project on an art historical topic using Omeka S or Wordpress. Initially, only a single student chose to complete a digital capstone over a traditional thesis, but within two years there was near parity between the two options, meaning seven digital capstones for the 2021 cohort. To support these projects, a close partnership quickly developed between the University’s library, the visual resources center, and the archives. This session covers how three campus units coordinate that support for these innovative digital humanities projects, including administration of the platforms, instruction, technical support, preservation, and access to the final projects. The session will also showcase examples of student work to demonstrate the variety and creativity of projects that can be accomplished using these platforms, as well as their contributions to the field of art history. The outcome of this initiative is clear: the best of digital humanities, weaving design and technology with rigorous art historical research, and finished projects that have already resulted in successful job applications in the field.Material Objects and Special Collections
VRA 2022 Material Objects and Special Collections session. Presenters: Allan T. Kohl and Jackie Spafford
Materials-based collections represent a challenging new mode of information management in terms of subject specialization, physical description and accommodation, and institutional mission. Building upon the successful introductory meeting of this Group in Los Angeles at the 2019 Conference, the goal of this SIG is to provide a forum for open discussion of Material and Object Collections and their relationship to various library/visual resources tasks. The Material and Object Collections SIG provides an opportunity for individuals working with a variety of materials and objects collections – including those that support art and art history courses, those that support architecture and design courses, and those in cultural heritage organizations – to share ideas, issues, and potential solutions in regard to tasks similar to common library/visual resources activities (including cataloging, documentation, staffing, outreach), as well as more specialized concerns relating to the management of physical objects (security, storage and retrieval, the design of user spaces, etc.).
By continuing to offer an opportunity for participants to share brief introductions and profiles of their collections, we hope to encourage networking and exchange information about sources for specialized items; to display sample items and share surplus samples with other collections; and to provide examples of successful solutions to typical problems. Our long-range goal is to maintain an ongoing support group that can be of particular benefit to those professionals who are in the beginning stages of building or organizing physical collections.

VRA 2022 Digital Art History session. Presenter: Kayla Olson
This paper discusses a study (completed in the spring of 2021) which explores how common the use of Qualitative Data Analysis software (QDAS) is among two kinds of object-based researchers: art historians and archaeologists. Surveys were disseminated in a snowball fashion and contained open and closed questions. The questions sought to give participants a platform to describe if, why, and how they use programs like Atlas.ti, NVivo, Dedoose, and MAXQDA throughout their research process. While not QDAS, the image management application Tropy was also included. The author hopes that the anonymized responses will prompt discussion among professionals in academic librarianship and visual resources management about the possible impact of these digital tools on researchers in these disciplines. The question remains on whether researchers in art and material culture disciplines would benefit more from QDAS if participants were aware of: 1) Their existence and 2) Their ability to help organize artifact data and to assist in performing image-based analysis.Describing Art on the Street: The Graffiti Art Community Voice
VRA 2022 Critical Cataloging Conversations in Teaching, Research, and Practice session. Presenter: Ann M. Graf, Assistant Professor of Library and Information Science, Simmons University
In the field of information science, we strive to provide access to information through the most efficient means possible. This is often done through the use of controlled vocabularies for description of subjects, and, in the case of art objects, for the identification of styles, processes, materials, and types. My research has examined the sufficiency of controlled vocabularies such as the Art and Architecture Thesaurus (AAT) for description of graffiti art processes and products. This research is evolving as the AAT is responding to warrant for a broader set of terms to represent outsider art communities such as the graffiti art community. The methods used to study terminological warrant by examining the language of the graffiti art community are helpful to give voice to artists who work outside the traditional art institution, allowing the way that they talk about their work and how they describe it to become part of the common discourse. It is hoped that this research will inspire others who design and supplement controlled vocabularies for use in the arts to give priority in descriptive practice to those who have been historically underrepresented or made invisible by default use of terminology that does not speak to their experiences.

VRA 2022 Session. Presenter: Douglas Peterson
In 2021, the National Archives of Estonia engaged Digital Transitions’ Service division, Pixel Acuity, to build an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool to analyze part of its historic record. The objective was to use this tool to enhance their collection with descriptive metadata that identified persons of interest in a collection of over 8,000 photographic glass plate negatives, a task that would ordinarily take years of human labor. In this presentation, we discuss our approach to accurately detecting and identifying human subjects in transmissive media, our initial findings using commercially available AI models, and the subsequent refinements made to our workflow to generate the most accurate metadata. In addition to working with commercially available AI models, we developed strategies for validation of AI-generated results without additional human supervision, and explored the benefits of building bespoke, heritage-specific AI models. By combining all of these tools, we developed a highly customized solution that greatly expedited accurate metadata generation with minimal human oversight, operated efficiently on large collections, and supported discovery of novel content within the archive.Crowdsourcing Collection Development
VRA 2022 Community Building Session. Presenter: Dacia Metes
Queens Memory is an ongoing community archiving program that engages with our local communities in our two-fold mission to (1) push local history collections out to the public through programming and online resources, and (2) pull new materials into our collections from the diverse communities of Queens, NYC. The COVID-19 pandemic forced us to close our buildings, cease all in-person work and programming and shift our work to the virtual world. Our team quickly modified our processing workflow and asset tracking with the high volume of crowd-sourced donations coming through new online submission forms, set up in a rapid response to capture the stories coming from the pandemic’s first epicenter in the U.S. In my proposed conference session, I will discuss how we planned and managed the shift to fully online collection development. I will talk about our virtual outreach efforts to engage with the community and get them to contribute their materials, and how we developed the online tools and processes that allowed us to collect photographs, oral history interviews and other audio/visual materials, while also capturing the necessary metadata and consent forms. New internal communications channels, roles for volunteers, and triage processing for publication resulted from these efforts and are now essential parts of the team’s practices.
Accessibility Guidance for Digital Cultural Heritage
The document summarizes a workshop on accessibility guidance for digital cultural heritage collections. The workshop consists of two hours which include presentations on accessibility requirements and workflow strategies, a breakout activity where participants practice creating accessible descriptions for images, and a wrap-up discussion. The presentations cover topics such as common barriers to accessibility, guidelines for making images, video, audio and documents accessible, and best practices for incorporating accessibility into workflows. The breakout activity has participants work in groups to write alt-text and accessibility descriptions for sample images from online collections.
CCO (Cataloging Cultural Objects): Why CCO?
CCO (Cataloging Cultural Objects) is a content standard that provides guidance for formatting and entering metadata values and terms to create shareable metadata for cultural heritage collections. It was developed in the late 1990s/early 2000s in response to questions from catalogers using the VRA Core standard and Getty vocabularies about how to properly format terms. While inspired by these standards, CCO can be used with any controlled vocabulary or data structure. It aims to improve discovery, retrieval, and access of cultural heritage collections through common practices and support for linked open data. The general guidelines also provide advice on structuring local databases and defining hierarchical relationships in controlled vocabularies.

CCO (Cataloging Cultural Objects): Structuring and Storing Data with CCOVisual Resources Association
The document discusses key principles for cataloging cultural objects using Cataloging Cultural Objects (CCO). It summarizes Principle 3 to follow CCO rules and make additional local rules to effectively retrieve, repurpose, and exchange data. It then discusses using controlled vocabularies, creating local authorities, using metadata standards, understanding different cataloging functions, and consistently establishing relationships between works. The document stresses planning for growth when adding new objects and relationships over time.CCO (Cataloging Cultural Objects): Incorporating CCO in Your Workflow
This document discusses approaches for introducing efficiency and automation to cultural object cataloging workflows using Cataloging Cultural Objects (CCO) standards. It provides examples of using microthesauri, controlled vocabularies, functions, formulas and other tools to automate data creation and repurposing for indexing and display. Methods like spreadsheets, databases, XML and other technologies can help transform and map data for interoperability while following CCO best practices.
CCO (Cataloging Cultural Objects): Applying CCO
The document discusses the ten key principles of Cataloging Cultural Objects (CCO) for cataloging objects in museum collections. It focuses on Principle 1, which is to establish logical relationships between work, collection, and image records. An example is provided of a stereoscope card depicting the Taj Mahal that would have collection, work, and image records linked together. Relationships can be indicated through record links or controlled vocabularies. Principle 2 is also covered, which is to include all required CCO elements in records, such as title, creator, and date. CCO elements are aligned with standards like VRA Core.
Emerging Voices Lightning Round 2021
The Emerging Voices Lightning Round Session provides emerging professionals in the visual resources field and related, the opportunity to present topics from exceptional coursework, such as a master's thesis, or topics with which they are engaged early in their professional life. Emerging professionals are defined as either students in programs leading to a career in visual resources or related, or those within 10 years of the start of their career. Topics presented reveal new ideas as well as different ways of thinking about established concepts. Speakers will give the conference attendees a glimpse of interests and current discourses of the newest VRA members.
