Gorham Database Design Project
The Brown University Library has been awarded an IMLS National Leadership planning grant for the purpose of collaborating with the RISD
Library and the RISD Museum in the development of a new database architecture that will allow users to explore the complete extent of the
design process used by the Gorham Manufacturing Company to create its hand-crafted consumer silver products. Once completed, the new
database will initially be populated with drawings, sketches, and digital objects pertaining to Gorham's Martelé line, a product that was
entirely handmade and unique to the Gorham Manufacturing Company.
