Digitization project: A public collection to be preserved and disseminated<\/h2>\n

n keeping with Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s digital cultural plan (PCNQ), launched by the Minist\u00e8re de la Culture et des Communications (MCC) in 2014, the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019art contemporain de Montr\u00e9al (MAC) has embarked on a project to digitize the works in its Collection. This high-priority project, which is in line with the PCNQ\u2019s main strategies for disseminating museum collections and improving accessibility to digital content, will contribute to expanding the museum\u2019s digital offering.<\/p>\n

The Mus\u00e9e is in the process of digitizing a body of approximately 1,500\u00a0works and upgrading its existing digital files. The work in progress further includes digitizing the collection of video works in order to ensure its preservation, make it accessible to Mus\u00e9e employees through its collections database and thereby facilitate in-house research, while also ensuring that it reaches a wider public. The project has enabled us to digitize approximately 200 video works and select freeze frames for each of them, digitize some thirty video installations and produce audio and video capsules documenting their operation and interactivity. At the same time, we are digitizing the video-documentary collection (over 1,000), audiovisual content (performances, artist talks, symposiums, etc.) and Mus\u00e9e publications related to major events in its programming since it was established in 1964.<\/p>\n

Paul-\u00c9mile Borduas archives: a priceless treasure<\/p>\n

To increase accessibility to the archives of the artist Paul-\u00c9mile Borduas, the Mus\u00e9e is currently reprocessing and digitizing them. Borduas was a major figure in the history of Qu\u00e9bec and Canadian art, leader of the Automatiste group and lead author of the Refus global<\/em> manifesto. This project calls for the digitization of around 10,000\u00a0documents. Correspondence, manuscripts, photographs, notebooks and lecture notes are among the many items to be reproduced in this form.<\/p>\n

Consolidation and upgrade project: Centralizing collections data<\/h2>\n

Among the activities connected with the PCNQ, the Mus\u00e9e is conducting extensive field work that is essential to managing the data, images and audiovisual content related to its collections, as well as to developing its projects for disseminating the collections and creating digital mediation tools that will help open up many different perspectives on them. This project, which involves the cleanup, standardization and restructuring of the data, among other operations, is aimed mainly at consolidating the information and content drawn from the Mus\u00e9e Media Centre\u2019s database and transferring them to the collections database. The MAC has also developed a means of integrating into its database the management of artists\u2019 archives, a capability it wishes to share with other museums that use the same system. The digitization project will enable employees to use the database to view the collection of video works, access audio and video content related to the works and to various audiovisual content, and consult the Mus\u00e9e\u2019s publications and archival material.<\/p>\n

Redesign of the website: (Re)discover the MAC and its Collection<\/h2>\n

Among the other major digital projects under way, the Mus\u00e9e is preparing a redesign of its website in order to disseminate its collections via the site and provide greater visibility for its educational activities and artistic and cultural content connected with its programming. This project, a key component of our communication strategies, fits into a broader perspective reflecting the museum\u2019s new visual identity. Adapted for all devices (smart phones, tablets and computer screens), the site will offer instinctive navigation centred on quality of user experience.<\/p>\n

The collections showcase will display a selection of major works, allowing Web visitors not only to discover or rediscover these works and the artists represented, but also to access a range of enriched content. For research purposes, the Mus\u00e9e will provide a Web directory to its collections and artists\u2019 archives.<\/p>\n

Copyright: Contemporary art and digital dissemination<\/h2>\n

Digital dissemination of cultural and artistic content is an issue of prime importance for a museum whose collection consists mainly of works of contemporary art. In this regard, the MAC\u2019s new copyright management policy introduced in 2015 entails the application of internal procedures promoting good practices and streamlined management processes with respect to the many digital dissemination projects yet to come. In addition, the MAC worked with a committee of representatives of the museum community that drew up a fee schedule for visual-arts copyright royalties. Implemented in 2015 by the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des mus\u00e9es du Qu\u00e9bec (SMQ), which is in charge of administering Measure\u00a024 of the PCNQ, and approved by the Regroupement des artistes en arts visuels du Qu\u00e9bec (RAAV), this schedule allows museums to establish the sums to be paid to the copyright holders for their digital projects. Bolstered as well by the MCC\u2019s desire to improve artists\u2019 socioeconomic conditions, simplify copyright management mechanisms and boost the presence of works by Qu\u00e9bec visual artists on the Web, the Mus\u00e9e national des beaux-arts du Qu\u00e9bec, the Mus\u00e9e de la civilisation, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019art contemporain de Montr\u00e9al reached their own agreement with RAAV in 2016 by adopting a fee schedule extended to cover all uses, including digital, connected with any exhibition project.<\/p>\n
