The Opportunity
The Art Museum Image Consortium (AMICO), an independent, non-profit
membership organization of museums dedicated to enabling educational use of
museum multimedia, is seeking a synergetic relationship with a university.
At a minimum, AMICO seeks to move its offices and staff, and become a
tenant within a university in North America. Ideally, we seek a mutually
beneficial environment in which to advance research on digital cultural
heritage in the context of our production schedule and requirements.
The Organization
AMICO was formed in 1997 by 23 institutions with collections of art,
dedicated to enabling educational access to museum multimedia. In the past
four years, AMICO has grown to over 35 members and established itself as a
self-sufficient, subscription-income-funded, organization. The AMICO
Library is delivered by a variety of established information service
providers. Currently over 160 universities, schools, research institutions,
museums and art galleries on four continents subscribe to The AMICO Library.
A Request for Proposals
Universities with a strong tradition in Humanities Computing or Digital
Library development and interested in exploring a hosting relationship with
AMICO should consult the full Request for Proposals, available from
http://www.amico.org
