Abstract

Research in preparation for an exhibition provided the opportunity for the Documentation Centre of the Musée Nationale d’Art Moderne-Centre de Création Industrielle to carry out an experiment to digitise one of its 30,000 artists’ files, on the group Supports-Surfaces. The navigation principle adopted allows easy access to the file’s contents, which have been divided into four documentation types. A database giving references to the digitised documents facilitates user research.
