Beginning in 2006, the IMA served as Project Director and Technical Lead of the Steve.museum research project, a two year National Leadership Grant funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and involving 8 of the nation’s leading art museums. The project’s research examined the use of social tagging for art museums and its benefits for increasing access and engagement to online collections of art. The IMA also co-authored two additional grants extending on the success of the initial Steve.museum project. Both grants were funded by the IMLS in 2008.
