Abstract

The process of moving digital assets into a management system is not straightforward, especially at a large and diverse place like the Smithsonian Institution, and requires an evolving workflow that takes into account the life cycle of a digital asset. This paper covers one particular path that digital assets can take, in this case, a legacy image collection held by Smithsonian Libraries.
