More than 200,000 objects are now accessible online via collection.cooperhewitt.org, following an 18-month mass digitization effort, in collaboration with the Smithsonian’s Digitization Program Office. The user-friendly interface enables all audiences—casual browsers, designers, curators, educators, students and scholars—to explore and examine one of the most diverse and comprehensive collections of design works in existence. See how we did it in this short process video. The mass digitization of the museum’s permanent collection is made possible by the Morton and Barbara Mandel Family Foundation.
