Dear CollectionSpace colleagues, I'm happy to inform you that a little over a month ago, on November 3rd, the Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive began using CollectionSpace as the collection management system for their art collection. BAM/PFA is one of the largest university art museums in the US with a collection of more than 20,000 objects and 14,000 films "characterized by themes of artistic innovation, intellectual exploration, and social commentary, and reflecting the central role of education in BAM/PFA’s mission". The UC Berkeley CollectionSpace team worked closely with BAM/PFA museum professionals to customize CollectionSpace and migrate data from a FileMaker Pro system. We took advantage of CollectionSpace's capacity for extension and customization so that it works well with established BAM/PFA workflows, and we developed new possibilities for streamlined operations. No system is complete without reports and data integration, so we built a number of reports and are also building a data source that will provide images and metadata for BAM/PFA's web site. The Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive is currently planning a move into a new physical space, and CollectionSpace will be an important part of that effort. A series of web applications that leverage CollectionSpace's RESTful API were built for the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology to help with their very large move, and these are being used with little modification to help BAM/PFA with their inventory and move activities. UC Berkeley is now home to five major campus collections in CollectionSpace -- the BAM/PFA Art Collection the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology the UC Botanical Garden, the University and Jepson Herbaria (public portal), and the BAM/PFA Library CineFiles collection. While each instance is customized, they all sit on top of CollectionSpace, allowing us to manage these enterprise-quality systems efficiently. This CollectionSpace launch represents a major accomplishment for UC Berkeley and for the CollectionSpace community as a whole! More information is available on the deployment wiki (BAM/PFA Art), and all our code is in github. Let us know if you'd like to learn more about this new deployment. Regards, Chris Hoffman and the UC Berkeley team
