Ready to Read: Weaving a Digital Narrative: Storytelling with Online Collections

Feb. 18, 2026
Lucidea is excited to release a new book from museum collections expert Rachael Christine Woody.

We are pleased to announce that Rachael Cristine Woody’s newest title, Weaving a Digital Narrative: Storytelling with Online Collections, is now available from Lucidea Press.

The museum field has reached a point where work in digitizing collections now meets the ease and opportunity afforded by online storytelling platforms. Many museums have emerged from the global pandemic with at least some online collections content, and audiences are more attuned than ever to consuming content online.

As a result, museum professionals have all the ingredients to weave complex, multivocal, multi-pathway, and self-selected narratives.

Creating digital surrogates has moved from tangential work to an integrated part of collections management, and museums continue to invest in digitization work. Digital collections and the accompanying data in museum collections management systems offer a rich supply to draw upon for online narratives. Capitalizing on work previously performed, there are a number of platforms—including the CMS—to use for dynamic storytelling. If you want to learn how to maximize the power and reach of your digital collections, this book is a must-read.

Representative chapters:

  • Finding Story Inspiration with Collections Online
  • Storytelling Design: Translating the Physical to Digital
  • Collections Online as Storytelling Elements
  • Digital Exhibits as a Storytelling Medium
  • Advanced Elements to Enhance Digital Storytelling
  • Visual Storytelling Platforms
  • 3D Virtual Tours
  • Immersive Experiences
  • We Can All Be Storytellers

We at Lucidea are delighted to offer you a free eBook here. For more information about Argus, our unrivaled museum CMS, visit the Argus page, or contact sales@lucidea.com, or call 604-278-6717.
