Project focus
Project Focus
St Albans Museums is composed of a number of sites in and around St Albans, including the Verulamium Museum which is built on the site of one of the largest Roman cities in Britain, and the newly-opened St Albans Museum & Gallery.
St. Albans Museums have been using iBase software to curate their extensive collections for many years and in 2018 made a customised terminal available to members of the public who are visiting their sites. This enables them to enrich visitors' experiences with additional information relating to the exhibits which they are viewing.

Metadata Quality
Metadata workflows help preserve context and make assets easier to find and reuse.
Media Handling
