continues to review other important frameworks and processes such as Collections Management Policy and Procedures, Art Acquisitions Policy and Procedures, Conservation Policy and Procedures, for both the City of Townsville Art Collection and the City of Townsville Art In Public Spaces Collection

In 2013/14 Gallery Services initiated the creation and development of an effective information and records management system for the documentation and management of the City of Townsville Art Collection, City of Townsville Art In Public Spaces Collection, Artist information data, and all image assets. Comprehensive project management and planning has occurred to create a holistic data solution for the artworks, cultural and historical material and information in the Gallery Services custodianship. The City of Townsville Art Collection and Artist Database front-end development is nearing completion and is approaching real-world testing and data migration phases. It is envisaged that the database solutions being undertaken will reach completion in early 2015 with access by the general community through Townsville City Council’s website by late 2015.
