What the notice says
The Horniman Museum and Gardens (HMG) is seeking to replace its end-of-life collections management system with a new, digital-first solution that will enhance efficiency, transparency, and best practice across its diverse collections and related activities. This project will span three to four years, focusing initially on data migration, followed by phased development and alignment of functions and procedures.
The Horniman Museum and Gardens' current collections management system is used to catalogue and manage diverse collections including Natural History, Anthropology, Musical Instruments, Living collections (an aquarium, a butterfly house, a small zoo, the gardens), a Handling Collection, an Archive, and items of value and interest that are not part of any formal collection. The system supports the 21 Spectrum procedures, but only partially. A core objective of this project is to develop new digital first procedures, aligned with and supported by the new system, promoting efficiency, transparency and museum best practice.
