Showcasing the museum resources of the UNESCO Chair of the Sorbonne Nouvelle
The Arts and Media department of the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle wanted to make the many museum resources gathered over the years by its UNESCO Chair available to students and researchers.
With Coralie Retureau, who was in charge of the art direction, we worked with the chair's coordinators on a typology of the resources, from which the website's categories came, then on several ways into them. A resource can be found through an index, by category, or through selections that connect it to the chair's news and work.
The chair's team is small and not necessarily technical. It had to be able to add resources easily and focus on teaching and research rather than on maintaining a website. We therefore worked on a WordPress theme with simple, structured templates that limit maintenance, and gave the team a user guide so it could take over the editing.
