CollectionSpace Community, Please join me in congratulating the Harvard University Graduate School of Design<http://www.collectionspace.org/harvard-university-graduate-school-of-design/> (HGSD) and Rhode Island School of Design<http://www.collectionspace.org/rhode-island-school-of-design/> (RISD) on their recently awarded CollectionSpace mini-grant. Working together, the project partners will develop a new profile for CollectionSpace designed to improve management of materials collections. The profile will include a new authority for managing materials information, and an innovative expansion of the CollectionSpace authority platform that will allow both collections to contribute to a shared materials authority. RISD and HGSD are also working toward the development of a consortium that will allow materials collections across the country to contribute to and benefit from their ??work. We look forward to a long and productive collaboration. Best regards, Megan Megan Forbes CollectionSpace Program Manager megan.forbes@lyrasis.org 917.267.9676 Cell meganbforbes Skype
