LACMA Unframed: Researching the Blackburn Collection—Part 1 & 2
LACMA’s Mark and Carolyn Blackburn Collection of Photography encompasses over 9,700 rare Oceanic objects. The extensive collection includes historic photographs spanning from 1840 to 2016, including many rare images of Hawaiian royalty and historically significant locations. In order to fully catalog and research the Blackburn Collection, LACMA was awarded a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) in 2017. With this grant, LACMA teams in Registration, Collections Management, and Collection Information & Digital Assets (CIDA) have been able to catalog, process, rehouse, and digitize over 9,700 photographs.
"Booming Online Attendance Extends San Francisco Virtual Tribal & American Indian Art Shows"
…. The show, which was then accessible free of charge, had initially been scheduled to be open from Thursday, February 25 through midnight PST on Sunday, February 28, but an unprecedented level of traffic, which exceeded the 50,000 hits-an-hour limit of the show’s commercial grade server, caused a significant slow-down on the websites for more than five hours on Thursday morning. Within a few hours, the platform was upgraded to an industrial-grade platform, which proved capable of handling the traffic for the rest of the show but to compensate, show management decided to extend the run to midnight PST on Wednesday, March 3.
Back on the Big Island in April

If you have any pieces of interest on the Big Island, please call me directly and I will arrange a visit for an assessment.
