MICROSOFT SUPPORTS CHM DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION On our journey to transform CHM into a 21st century museum, we are updating and expanding our strategy, work processes, and perhaps most importantly, the technology that will enable CHM to share its historical resources and stories while engaging new audiences. With the generous support of Microsoft, including donations of new computers for every employee and a variety of software tools, we have created a robust infrastructure designed to help us to realize this vision. As part of that plan, CHM has begun “OpenCHM,” an ambitious initiative that harnesses the power of new computing technologies to make our collections, exhibits, programs, and other offerings more accessible, especially to a remote, global audience. OpenCHM got a boost when CHM was awarded a National Leadership grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services in 2020 and support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Funds seeded a one-year, rapid-prototype project that usedMicrosoft technologies to create a simple search portal for a selection of digitized materials from CHM’s collections. We learned a lot about what is possible and how to move forward. With that project and others, we will continue to build on the strong foundation we have established with the help of Microsoft’s deep industry experience and ever-evolving tools.
