[Nhcoll-l] New data visualization resources for NHCs

[Bentley, Andrew Charles]

Thanks Jess

This is a wonderful resource.  I was able to create one for my fish collection in about an hour using a Darwin Core occurrence download for my collection - https://public.tableau.com/profile/andrew.bentley#!/vizhome/CollectionScopeTemplate-V2020_1_15906154830740/Dashboard

The features and customizability are awesome for showcasing your collection and providing valuable attribution and accessibility measures for your collection in a visually appealing way.

Thanks for providing this valuable resource for the community.

Andy

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] New data visualization resources for NHCs

Hello!
My name is Jessica Mailhot, and I am a recent graduate from the CU Boulder Museum & Field Studies Program.

For my thesis project, I explored applying data visualization to collections management. I designed a suite of dashboards that anyone can download for free, plug their own data into, and tailor to address their unique needs, all using the free and user-friendly software Tableau Public. These dashboards are designed to help with showcasing the scope of your collection, advocating for your impact, managing grant projects, and many other tasks. No programming experience or purchase required.

The tools, resources, and tutorials that I created during my thesis project are all available for free on the website www.CollVizDashboards.com<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.collvizdashboards.com%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cabentley%40ku.edu%7C3d92d7c798794e91b22008d8028124e7%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C637262100986953860&sdata=%2FdRbKSj2rnbV7m7yhJZ%2BbtoVkENsUH2OOklZobAvAuM%3D&reserved=0> ("CollViz" being short for Collection Visualization). It's also where you can find literature about other museum data viz, extra resources about data viz and the software, and a discussion board for creative conversation and collaboration.

Feel free to contact me through the website or at contact at collvizdashboards.com<mailto:contact at collvizdashbaords.com> with any questions or comments. CollViz is still very new, so any feedback is appreciated. As a recent graduate, I'm very excited to see where museums go next and to contribute something unique and helpful for you in these challenging times.

Thank you for your time,
Jess
