My interest (for obvious reasons) is caught by online or digital collections curated by… well, by all sorts of people. I’m especially interested by public institutions like libraries, national galleries, etc using online galleries as a way of reaching the wider public. I’m also interested in the opposite – collections which work better in the face to face (I’m thinking of the national archives and their collections in remote indigenous communities…fuck, regional centres. God forbid they actually get action out to _really_ remote communities. Who aren’t white.).
This is another one I’ve just found: http://www.printsandprintmaking.gov.au/, which is the national gallery’s prints and printmaking… collection? I guess you’d call it that.
