Data points: How inclusive metadata fosters diversity in museum collections (Binghamton University)

Binghamton University: Data points: How inclusive metadata fosters diversity in museum collections. “Metadata — literally data about data — helps channel that stream, explained Binghamton University Art Museum intern Eliana Ellerton, a senior history major who will finish her master’s degree in 2024 through the 4+1 program. Since last year, Ellerton has been working with Art Museum Curator of Collections and Exhibitions Claire Kovacs on formulating inclusive metadata guidelines, or protocols on how the museum approaches diversity within its archives.”
