The Museum Data Service (MDS) aims to unify the widely scattered digital records of UK museums into a single online platform, enhancing accessibility.
With the MDS, researchers can now conduct a single search across 21 museums, expanding access to invaluable collections and enhancing opportunities for discovery.
The goal is to combine over 100 million object records from 1,750 accredited museums, vastly improving visibility for smaller institutions.
The platform invites museums to upload their collections, making them visible to researchers and the public, thus democratizing access to cultural resources.
