The Museo de San Juan is the city's arts and history museum located in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. This project team collaborated with the Museo to design digital systems to protect their physical archives from natural disasters and to broaden the reach of their educational programs by creating a website featuring exhibitions and workshops. We traveled to other archives, collaborated with museum staff, and used an iterative design process to improve the robustness of the museum's previous archival systems. We obtained permission to publish the website from meetings with the Director of Communications, Vice Mayor, and Mayor of San Juan. This project resulted in a secure digital archive and a live website, along with manuals describing how to maintain these systems for the Museo de San Juan.
