Abstract
While there is no clear checklist or DAMS template, both the literature review and the findings chapter point to five key areas museums must focus on: need, scope, implementation, barriers, and lessons learned from other institutions. Museums must define their need for a DAMS, which is primarily access. Then they must define the scope of the DAM project. Once these two foundational decisions have been made, the implementation phase begins. Implementation most often is a long, tenuous phase consisting of research,, a complete inventory of the digital assets, vendor selection for the project, forged vendor relationships, migration of assets, the rollout of the DAMS, and DAMS training for users. A massive amount of work goes into the implementation of a DAMS.
