AMICO: What is it? • AMICO stands for the Art Museum Image Consortium and was founded in 1997 • AMICO is pronounced like ah-MEE-ko; it means friend in Italian • AMICO is a non-profit collaboration of museums (AMICO Members) that are working together to enable educational use of Members’ collections through digital multimedia documentation
AMICO: What’s in it for us? • AMICO Members benefit in a two-fold manner: – 1. Disseminating their collections to a wide audience for educational purposes. – 2. Learning from their fellow Members and knowing that one’s digital documentation will meet shared standards.
AMICO and your Department • Registrar – Streamline Rights and Reproductions for educational uses • Education – Access images from other collections – Share your interpretive programs with students across the country • Curatorial – Have in-depth access to detailed collections documentation from other museums • The Library – Direct scholars to the AMICO Library, a useful public reference tool • Information Technology – Connect with the best in the business, and share strategies and solutions
