Collecting stories related to museum objects using a webapplication

The Digital Humanities Lab delivered “Catharijneverhalen” to the Museum Catharijneconvent (St. Catherine's Convent Museum).

Museum Catharijneconvent is a museum of religious art in Utrecht in the Netherlands. The application enables researchers or curators to sample personal memories (collected through crowdsourcing)  on the basis of items belonging to the collection of the museum. Marije de Nood, curator and educator at the Catharijneconvent uses the app to research oral history practice.

The mockup for “Catharijneverhalen” was designed by Jochem van Eijsden, webmaster of the Digital Humanities Lab. The project was funded with a museumgrant from NWO.
