Museum Vault Support Center

Practical support for small museum teams setting up Museum Vault, training volunteers, cleaning catalog data, importing records, and publishing public exhibitions.

Two museum team members reviewing artifact records together in a quiet workroom.
Support for setup, cataloging, migration, media, inventory, exhibitions, and billing in the same practical workflow.
Best first step

Choose the work you are trying to finish.

Support is organized around museum jobs, not software menus: getting access, setting roles, cataloging artifacts, importing old records, running inventory, publishing exhibitions, and understanding plan limits.

When to email

Contact support when a guide does not unblock you.

Email team@museumvault.app for account access problems, failed imports, billing or plan confusion, blocked uploads, public-page issues, or anything that looks wrong after you have the right page open.

Support paths

Pick the closest situation

Each path groups the guides a small museum team usually needs together, so administrators and volunteers can move through a real task without guessing where to start.

Guide library

Step-by-step support articles

These guides are written for museum administrators, curators, and volunteers who need plain answers during real collection work.

Setup

Set Up Your Museum Workspace

Create the museum account, confirm the tenant address, add core settings, and give the first team members the right access.

A workspace your staff and volunteers can enter without confusion.
Account access

Fix Sign-In and Account Access Problems

Resolve common magic-link, invitation, tenant, and role issues before they block staff or volunteers.

A user can reach the correct museum dashboard with the correct role.
Team management

Manage Team Roles and Invitations

Choose administrator, curator, and volunteer access safely, resend invitations, and remove people who no longer need access.

Each person has enough access to do their work and no more.
Cataloging

Create a Reliable Artifact Record

Enter the fields that make a record findable, reviewable, and safe to use in exhibitions later.

A record that another staff member can understand without asking you what it means.
Cataloging

Fix Common Catalog Problems

Clean duplicate object IDs, unclear titles, inconsistent locations, missing images, and notes that should be reviewed before publishing.

Cleaner records without turning cleanup into an endless side project.
Migration

Import PastPerfect or CSV Records

Prepare an export, map fields, validate rows, handle duplicates, and review the first imported batch before volunteers edit it.

A clean first import batch that staff can review with confidence.
Media

Troubleshoot Media Uploads

Understand image, document, audio, video, file-size, thumbnail, and browser issues when media does not upload as expected.

A clear reason why a file failed and what to try next.
Inventory

Run a Museum Inventory Audit

Create an audit session, verify expected objects, scan or search records, record exceptions, and close the review loop.

An audit result that explains what was verified, missing, or moved.
Public exhibitions

Publish an Online Exhibition

Build a visitor-ready exhibition from selected artifacts, review rights and wording, preview the page, and share it safely.

A public page that tells a clear story without exposing unfinished catalog work.
Billing

Understand Billing, Plans, and Limits

Know what happens when a museum reaches storage, artifact, member, exhibition, media, or visitor-feature limits.

A clear next step when a feature is locked or a limit is reached.
Contact support

Send the context that lets us help quickly.

A good support message does not need to be long. It just needs the details that identify the museum, the page, the action, and the point where the workflow stopped.

Email team@museumvault.app

Include when possible

  • Museum name and tenant URL
  • Your role in the museum workspace
  • The page URL where the issue happened
  • The exact error message or blocked action
  • A short note about what you expected to happen
