Many museums are struggling to navigate the expanding universes of social media and digital content with the slim resources available to them in constrained budgets. Fortunately, some entrepreneurial museums are breaking trail—pooling resources to develop shared tools, investing in free and open source software that can be adopted by the rest of the field. In today’s guest post, Perian Sully, project manager: online access and digital asset management at the Balboa Park Online Collaborative, reports on some of these projects. Balboa Park Online Collaborative is an unconventional organization. BPOC was founded two years ago to provide a host of technology services and support for 27 (and growing) organizations in San Diego’s Balboa Park. We provide IT support, build new websites, help with iPad kiosks, digitize collection items and video archives, and act as a resource for museum staff with various technology questions.
