Dr Aruna Bhaugeerutty Email & Phone Number

I am an experienced digital programme and project manager specialising in the digitisation of museum collections and their publication and discovery online. I have over ten years experience leading teams to enable digital transformation, including an ambitious programme at the Ashmolean Museum to digitise the collections and implement new digital collection systems and service. I have also been closely involved in the development of Oxford University’s GLAM digital strategy, which aims to transform digital capabilities to extend the reach of the University Collections. I advise nationally and internationally as a member of the Art UK Steering Panel, Wellcome Collection Advisory Committee, Collections Trust Board, and Spencer Museum Advisory Group. I was a member of the former National Digitisation Taskforce. I am advocate of the use of technology to maximise cataloguing, imaging and publication workflows and advocate the application of metadata-driven standards and systems to improve the management, discovery, sharing and use of museum collections. I am also an advocate for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, and currently convene the Ashmolean EDI working group.

Listed skills include Museum Collections, Museums, Project Management, Art History, and 17 others.
