Nancy Proctor has been named the first deputy director of digital experience at the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) near the Johns Hopkins University’s Homewood campus.
It’s a new position, and Proctor joins the museum in the middle of the BMA’s renovation, which is scheduled to be completed in 2015.
She’ll be responsible for finding ways to incorporate digital media and tools inside the museum itself as a way to augment what visitors see in the galleries, producing digital content about the museum’s collections and managing a team of people who will oversee the BMA’s website and social media channels.
According to a press release, Proctor has been working with technology in museums since 1995 when she cofounded TheGalleryChannel.com, “publishing innovative online exhibitions and virtual tours and the United Kingdom’s first CD-ROM of contemporary art.” She’s coming to the BMA after having served as Head of Mobile Strategy and Initiatives at the Smithsonian Institution.
