What’s one way for a museum to raise its profile and expose its collection? The answer, for several Baltic museums, was to digitise their artefacts and put them online. This is a growing trend in the 21st century, which has been simplified thanks to the EUREKA project ONLINE CATALOGUE; it has developed a cost-effective and easily configurable database system, simplifying access to almost any type of museum collection. The database is designed to be an open architecture system that will be marketed to museums throughout Europe (and beyond), expanding research possibilities for experts across the globe.
