Whether you're caring for a single collection or managing hundreds of works across an institution, a digital system helps you stay organized and ready for what's ahead. In this webinar, you'll learn how to bring order to your collection using a digital platform. 

Elysian Koglmeier from Artwork Archive, an online art inventory management system, will walk you through how a cloud-based collection management system can help you: 

  • Centralize artwork details, images, and documents in one secure location
  • Prepare for moments that matter—like estate planning, exhibition planning, loans, gifts, and insurance claims
  • Stay ready for emergencies with quick access to records
  • Build a foundation for future stewardship, transparency, and value retention 

This presentation will show you how easy it is to start organizing your collection and reduce the stress of scattered spreadsheets, folders, and paper files. Whether you’re just getting started or already documenting your collection, you’ll leave with practical tips to streamline your workflow and protect your cultural assets. 

This webinar addresses Focus Area #3: “expanding collections-based knowledge creation” of the FAIC’s Held In Trust Report on digital technology: research and practice.

About our speaker: 

Elysian McNiff Koglmeier is Head of Partnerships for Artwork Archive, an online art inventory management system for artists, collectors and organizations. 

Growing up with a father as an art therapist and a mother who dedicated her career to art education, Elysian has always been passionate about the creative process and the importance of empowering artists and cultural institutions. She has pursued this passion both in the public and private sector. She started her career in museums (Middlebury College Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston), ran New England Foundation for the Arts' public art program, served as curator for Brown University and RISD, and contributed to publications such as Art New England, Art Business News, and Public Art Review. A move out west brought her to Craftsy (now Bluprint) in Denver where she produced online art classes and managed partnerships for a startup that created online educational opportunities for enthusiastic makers.  

She received her BA in History from Middlebury College and her MA in Public Humanities from Brown University.  

Elysian is also the Board Treasurer for the National Organization for Arts in Health and a member of Children’s Hospital Colorado’s art selection committee.
