My collections

In a future release, BALaT+ will let logged-in users create their own named collections by saving records from any dataset.

What will "My collections" offer?

In Phase 2 of the BALaT+ project, My collections will allow you to create and manage your own sets of records. You will be able to group together objects, photos, documents, research activities and more into named collections that reflect your research, exhibitions or teaching needs.

How it will work

  • Add records directly from detail pages and search results with an "Add to collection" action.
  • Combine different data types in a single collection: artworks, photos, library records, research data, etc.
  • Keep collections private to your account by default, so you can experiment and refine them.
  • In later phases, optionally share selected collections with colleagues, students or the public.

Current status

My collections is not yet available in this Phase 1 beta. The menu entry and this page are placeholders to explain what is coming and to help us design the feature together with users. No personal data or collection content is stored here yet.

Help us shape this feature

If you have ideas about how you would like to use My collections—such as research workflows, teaching scenarios, or exhibition planning—please share them with us via the contact section. Your feedback will help us prioritise which collection features to build first in Phase 2.
