A snapshot of the Getty Foundation’s Online Scholarly Catalogue Initiative

What is a page in the digital age? The Getty Foundation’s Online Scholarly Catalogue Initiative (OSCI) was launched in 2009 to create new models for the publication of museum collection catalogues in the online environment. Five years later, all eight museums participating in the grant programme have published pioneering online catalogues. A final report on the initiative, which will share lessons learned and remaining challenges, as well as core information of value for any museum considering online publishing, will be presented by the Foundation later this year.
