The Seaside Museum is pleased to announce that, with a grant from the Clatsop County Cultural Coalition, in the amount of $1,692.00, our collections catalog will be updated!
We are currently using software that is only available on one computer, and we are excited to make the change to a new web-based version. The grant will cover the initial set-up and transfer fees while the museum will fund the annual costs going forward. This new system will allow our volunteers and staff to access our catalog from home which will allow for more comprehensive research and a better understanding of the scope of our collections. Thank you, Clatsop County Cultural Coalition, for this exciting opportunity!
