- Abstract:
- This poster presentation describes an ongoing digital project focused on cataloging and organizing a large collection of abstract artwork created by Burton Dickerson, the presenter’s grandfather, who passed away in 2022. The poster highlights technical aspects of organizing the collection, including the decision to self-host an instance of Omeka-S, the use of metadata tags to identify consistent visual motifs across works, and approaches to managing complex items that consist of both digital and physical objects.
