INGENIOUS: The NMSI NOF-digitise website
What is Ingenious?
Ingenious is a new website that brings together images and viewpoints to create insights into science and culture. It weaves unusual and thought-provoking connections between people, innovations and ideas. Drawing on the resources of NMSI, the site contains over 30,000 images which are used to illustrate over 30 different subjects, topics and debates.
You are invited on a voyage of discovery through the content, exploring new perspectives on human ingenuity. The rich resources offer authoritative re-interpretations, which challenge traditional views. You can contribute to these discussions, by offering fresh opinions on the issues that have changed our lives, thereby creating dialogues within communities and with the Museums.
Who is working on the website?
The key NMSI contributors to the site are the Science Museum, the National Museum of Photography, Film & Television, the National Railway Museum, the Science & Society Picture Library and the Science Museum Library.
As well as a huge range of internal staff from across NMSI, two external companies have been employed in the build of the website: Tape International who are the technical lead provider of the Essence™ CMS system and primary contractor; and SAS, who are providing brand and design guidance.
