received Special Recognition in e-Culture,
Heritage & Tourism Category during Manthan Awards 2015 on 2nd December
2015. The portal offers online and integrated access to digitized
collections of 10 national Museums. The Human-Centred Design and
Computing Group at C-DAC Pune has designed and developed the national
portal as well as the software tools required for cataloguing and
digital repository management. The project is funded by the Ministry of
Culture, Government of India. The participating museums are National
Museum in New Delhi; Allahabad Museum in Allahabad; Indian Museum in
Kolkata; National Gallery of Modern Arts in New Delhi, Mumbai and
Bengaluru; Archaeological Survey of India Museum in Goa and
Nagarjunakonda; Salar Jung Museum in Hyderabad, and Victoria Memorial
Hall in Kolkata. It is a pioneering achievement, as for the first time
so many museums are made accessible through single unified interface.
