Managing Digital Assets in Small Museums: Challenges and Solutions

A dynamic discussion exploring the unique challenges of implementing and running a DAM with limited resources. Small museums often face significant hurdles when managing their digital collections, especially when operating on tight budgets with small staff sizes and where many users are volunteers. The panel reviews the day-to-day obstacles small museums face, including: -Implementing a DAM with limited technical expertise. -Training and onboarding volunteer staff to use the system effectively. -Balancing time and resources while still prioritizing the preservation of valuable digital assets. -Finding creative, low-cost solutions to ensure sustainable digital asset management. Sharing their unique experiences, including lessons learned on the role of the DAM in small museums, and the practical steps they've taken to overcome challenges they have faced, the panel will describe strategies for fostering collaboration between volunteers and professional staff that ensure the long-term success of their digital initiatives.
