Dear Margaret, This is a slightly different use case, but here at the Brooklyn Public Library we have our digital collections in a proprietary DAMS called Widen, and are very happy with it. Not cheap, but pretty powerful. We have it for internal use on the back end, and our IT team has built a public face from their API. https://www.bklynlibrary.org/digitalcollections/ It's primarily a marketing platform, but I know of other cultural institutions and several Universities that are using it, among them Cornell https://www.widen.com/blog/the-widen-digital-asset-manager-series-being-a-widen-damster-with-corey-chimko-of-cornell-university-photography [https://www.widen.com/hs-fs/hub/464524/file-3422784423-jpg/blog-files/corey_chimko.jpg#keepProtocol]<https://www.widen.com/blog/the-widen-digital-asset-manager-series-being-a-widen-damster-with-corey-chimko-of-cornell-university-photography> The Widen digital asset manager series: Being a Widen DAMster – with Corey Chimko of Cornell University Photography<https://www.widen.com/blog/the-widen-digital-asset-manager-series-being-a-widen-damster-with-corey-chimko-of-cornell-university-photography> The Widen digital asset manager series: Being a Widen DAMster – with Corey Chimko of Cornell University Photography www.widen.com Also the Jewish Museum https://thejewishmuseum.org/collection/search It is pretty flexible. In my former position at Bard Graduate Center we used ARTstor, and were very happy with that in a combined college and museum context. Please feel free send any questions you have.

We are wondering if institutions have retained their earlier collections and if so, migrated them into local projects or have purchased proprietary programs to store their collections? The need for image collections will continue but the platform and technology is constantly changing. What are you using? And is it working for your faculty teaching needs? We would be grateful if you shared your experience. Thank you.
