The Brooklyn Museum established a new department last July, Digital
Collections and Services (Digital Lab, for short), to centralize all of the
various activities that were scattered around the building. We answer to the
Deputy Director for Art, so are on the collections side rather than
administrative, and include the photography studio, scanning lab, rights &
reproductions, and digital asset management. We cover all areas of the
Museum--collections, libraries/archives, current activities.
The idea was that all digital imaging projects would be under the umbrella
of the Digital Lab--if a department wants to do a project, we'll provide the
technical expertise, spec out and purchase equipment (along with IS), train
the staff, and host the project. We work closely with Information Systems,
who provide the technology infrastructure and network administration. IS
manages Web activities and will be working closely with us as we move toward
putting the collections on the website.

Subject: Digital Initiatives and Organizational structure
Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2006 10:36:52 -0500
Would anyone on the list be willing to share information regarding where
your Digital Projects/Digital Initiatives areas fit within your
organizational structure? We are trying to determine if content-producing
areas (sometimes called Digital Projects/Initiatives, Online Access, etc.)
are typically housed within the IT department, collection/curatorial
department, or elsewhere. Are there any institutions that have
content-based web departments outside of IT?
Your help is greatly appreciated!
