manage-collections-and-exhibitions

mcorbett51090/RavenClaude

Steward a collection and build the exhibitions it feeds — run the accession/deaccession ethics gate (AAM/AAMD; deaccession proceeds fund collection care/acquisition only), cataloging, provenance & NAGPRA due diligence, condition reporting, loans in/out, insurance/valuation, storage & environmental controls, the collections-CMS fit (TMS/Axiell/PastPerfect/CollectionSpace), and the exhibition project lifecycle (concept → checklist & loans → interpretation → budget → schedule → install/condition → evaluation). Reach for this when the user asks "should we accession/deaccession this?", "run the provenance/NAGPRA due diligence", "TMS vs Axiell vs PastPerfect vs CollectionSpace?", or "plan this temporary/traveling exhibition". Used by `collections-and-engagement-specialist` (primary).

publish-digital-collections-and-access

mcorbett51090/RavenClaude

Publish a collection online, rights- and cultural-sensitivity-cleared — run the copyright/rights gate and the source-community consultation, decide open-access vs restricted (CC0/CC-BY vs a rights-restricted license, with rights statements), and stand up the IIIF image/presentation stack + DAMS + online catalog + virtual exhibitions, defaulting toward openness where rights allow while cultural sensitivity gates the publish button. Reach for this when the user asks "publish our collection online", "open access or not?", "set up IIIF for our images", or "can we put this culturally sensitive material online?". Used by `collections-and-engagement-specialist` (primary).
