Hello Emily, As an introduction, prior to starting my consulting business I was Director of Imaging and Visual Resources at MoMA, where I was employed for over 20 years. As Director of that department I introduced the idea of DAM to senior management in approximately 2005 and built consensus throughout the Museum toward its support. I created and led the MoMA DAM Committee from the discovery period through the DAM's maturity -- the point at which point it held still images of both Collection objects and marketing assets, time-based assets and related text documents, was integrated with Collections Management (TMS), and was actively embraced by users as a core database supporting everyday tasks. That same DAM system is sufficiently flexible that its system integration continues to be expanded at MoMA.
In my current consulting practice I work with museums, photographers, cultural heritage digitization service providers, and others on projects ranging from planning and implementing preservation digitization through to Digital Asset Management. As well, I have experience with image licensing, for which I ran a profitable program at MoMA for many years. I normally attend MCN every year, but this is the one year I have skipped. I would love to speak with you about CCP's needs at your convenience. As further background I have attached a summary of my consulting services as well as my CV. Looking forward to speaking with you!
