Projects in Process

Along with the Davison Art Center's ongoing programs of education, exhibition, and publication, the museum has several newer projects under way. These strategically interwoven initiatives include:

The DAC Digital Imaging Initiative
The DAC website, and
A new collections database management system

These projects have begun to combine in various ways along with traditional modes of direct study of original objects, expanding the means by which the museum collection supports its educational mission.

For example, images produced by the DAC Digital Imaging Initiative are being used to create small-scale "learning objects" for pedagogical use via the DAC website. Zoomable images of selected Japanese woodcuts from the DAC collection are featured in a more extensive learning object developed collaboratively at Wesleyan to help students, collectors, and researchers better understand Ukiyo-e Techniques.
