DIGITAL CARDS / 01—06

Six links between screen and gallery.

Search, compare, match, cite, date and carry a small record without mistaking online availability for museum certainty.

01 / SEARCH

Search from identifiers, not impressions

Turn a remembered shape into a controlled query without letting the first plausible result replace the exact museum object.

Open digital card
02 / RECORDS

One object can have several digital records

Compare museum pages, collection databases, excavation archives and publications without flattening their different purposes.

Open digital card
03 / IMAGES

Match the image before reading the caption

Use whole form, viewpoint, component and source metadata to prevent a striking crop from becoming the wrong object.

Open digital card
04 / CITATIONS

A citation trail should survive a changed page

Save enough institution, identifier, title, date and location detail to recover a claim after a URL moves.

Open digital card
05 / FRESHNESS

Current online does not mean current in the gallery

Separate page freshness, collection knowledge, visitor conditions and physical display state before planning a visit.

Open digital card
06 / OFFLINE

Carry the digital brief into the gallery

Turn tabs and saved links into a compact offline sheet that supports looking without replacing the live object.
