Development of MIS for Bangladesh National Museum (BNM)
May 1, 2011 - April 30, 2012
The BNM and its four branches located in different parts of the country contain about 1,00,000 archeological objects of different types. The detailed information on all these objects needs to be preserved in a systematic way and stored into a secure database system. This will help to prevent the loss of historical information about each valuable object as well as the object itself. CEGIS has signed a contract with Bangladesh National Museum (BNM) to develop an MIS under Information, Communication and Digitalization Program of BNM. The main objective of this project is to develop a digital information system of the objects and computerization of the National Museum for producing a virtual museum system in line with the vision of a “Digital Bangladesh. The main component of the MIS is Object Identification System (OIS). OIS is a web enabled application which will assist in registering each of the historical objects. It will help to capture detailed information about each object including classification, date of accession, accession number, type of object, material used, measurements, distinguishing features, estimated price, place of origin, acquisition history, condition of the object and the location of the object within the museum.
