Freer and Sackler Galleries to Release Complete Digitized Collection Jan. 1, 2015

Freer and Sackler Galleries to Release Complete Digitized Collection Jan. 1, 2015On January 1, 2015 The Freer and Sackler Galleries will offer free digital access to their entire collection of over 40,000 works, most of which have never been on view to the public. More than 90 percent of the images will be in high resolution and without copyright restrictions for noncommercial use and this massive effort, also known as Digital Zero, comes from the first Smithsonian and the only Asian art museums to digitize and release their entire collections. Visit their website for more information on the upcoming release as well as other digital projects such as the Rapid Capture Pilot Project and Podcasts.
