So how do I use the database? How do I find the artwork I am looking for?
It is easy to search the Collection through a range of access points, such as Artist search, Subject search, Simple search and Advanced search. There are also a number of pre-defined selections to look at. You can also become familiar with the scope of the Collection through the 'highlights' sections.
Do you have any tips for new users?
Try exploring the extensive list of artists represented in the Collection and the very wide range of subject areas.
Since the Well Connected team visited you, how has the project progressed?
Very well - we have already imaged and subject indexed all 50,000 British works in the collection under HLF funding and are now in the process of completing the collection digitisation with support from the New Opportunities Fund. We have also made a wide range of enhancements to the website to improve access within the Collections area.
When will the project be finished?
Work is ongoing to provide ever improved Insight into Tate's Collection, however, a key milestone was reached on 1 March when we launched the Turner Bequest on-line, representing a doubling of Tate's catalogue to close to 60,000 works.
How do you feel this project will contribute to the cultural wealth of the nation?
Tate houses the national collections of British Art and of international modern art, having these collections universally accessible on-line represents a significant showcase for the cultural wealth of the nation.
