Have you ever wanted to peek into the museum’s storage and see what the museum has in its collection? Or, want to know if the museum’s library has a certain book? Well, now you can – from home!
Part of the museum’s object and library database are now publicly available at collections.modelaircraft.org As of the date of this blog post, May 1, 2019, there’s 835 object records and 2,734 library records. While this may only be a small portion of the approximately 11,000 object records we have, more are being added every month. It’s about half of the library records. Updating each individual record takes time, and instead of waiting years until every record was available, we decided to make what was ready now available to our members. There’s some pretty well-known models already included, as well as some less known gems you might learn something about!
This wouldn’t have been possible without the support of museum patrons and AMA members. Thank you!
Please note that data standardization is never perfect. Museum staff have made every effort to make sure included information is accurate and complete. If you find an error, or something you are looking for cannot be found, please email museumcollections@modelaircraft.org
