Abstract

The Skirball Cultural Center (SCC) in Los Angeles, California, is a cultural centre and museum with a mission based on 4,000 years of Jewish core values and 400 years of democratic ideals, focusing on inclusion and welcoming people from all communities and generations. In pursuit of that mission, the SCC organises and presents art, music, theatre and literary events, and educational programming, much of which is documented photographically and stored in a digital asset management system managed by the Susanne Kester Archives at SCC. The decision to upgrade the archives’ digital asset management system yielded unexpected changes to the department’s workflow and the scope of the digital collection. This case study examines the challenges that accompanied the upgrade of the digital asset management system and the unanticipated benefits that derived from the change.
