Exploring museum collections online: Some background reading
In 2017 the Science Museum Group relaunched its online collection website. The website consolidated a number of existing websites publishing digitised collection material — organised by subject or area of collection — into a single presence.
Over 282,000 objects and archival records were published and over 27,000 of these were illustrated with at least one image.
This represents about 6% of the object collection (estimated to total 406,000 objects) and only a tiny fraction of the archival collection (estimated to be around 7 million items).
