The document discusses plans to catalog and publish online conservation histories and information for 5,000 works of art. It recommends using a license-free conservation tracking system to scan paper files, transcribe information into records, and digitize materials. It notes that the published data will include keywords, activity types and dates in a grid format, and may also include abstracts or narratives when available. The information will be shared on the museum's website and issues remain to be addressed creatively.
