In Phase 2, we incorporated Artwork & Archive collections into the main site and created a Collections Explorer targeted at researchers and the general public. This consisted of syncing data from their Collections Management software and from the Digital Asset Management software to build out the collection in the CMS. We then index the data in Solr. Due to our accessibility requirements, instead of using Drupal Views, we custom developed the Collection landing page front end and hand crafted the API to handle exploring the collection.
