Abstract
As the COVID-19 pandemic has threatened much of our access to communal spaces of learning and research such as universities, libraries, and museum collections, many new technologies have emerged to make these resources accessible to the public from the comfort of their homes.
The Jewish Museum of Florida-FIU (JMOF) collection consists of ~60,000 objects, documents, images and ephemera. The collections are wide-ranging in content, cover numerous subject headings and geographically represent all sixty-seven counties of Florida and Cuba.
Join the JMOF staff for a series of lightning talks with Registrar Todd Bothel, Curator Jacqueline Goldstein, and Education Manager Luna Goldberg. Topics will include a briefing about the museum’s holdings and ongoing digitization process, new technologies we have implemented to present virtual reality exhibitions to the public, as well as a discussion on virtual resources that have contributed to successful education and outreach programs across Florida and the country at-large.
