For my thesis project, I explored applying data visualization to collections management. I designed a suite of dashboards that anyone can download for free, plug their own data into, and tailor to address their unique needs, all using the free and user-friendly software Tableau Public. These dashboards are designed to help with showcasing the scope of your collection, advocating for your impact, managing grant projects, and many other tasks. No programming experience or purchase required.

The tools, resources, and tutorials that I created during my thesis project are all available for free on the website www.CollVizDashboards.com ("CollViz" being short for Collection Visualization). It's also where you can find literature about other museum data viz, extra resources about data viz and the software, and a discussion board for creative conversation and collaboration. 

Feel free to contact me through the website or at [log in to unmask] with any questions or comments. CollViz is still very new, so any feedback is appreciated. As a recent graduate, I'm very excited to see where museums go next and to contribute something unique and helpful for you in these challenging times.
