Abstract

Cooperative models for digital archives management offer innovative means of utilising resources, skills and knowledge from multiple institutions to support shared online collections. To outline the benefits and challenges of working within a consortial model, this paper provides three case studies, focusing on distributed governance, metadata quality assurance, resource sharing, financial security, and diversity and equity. While the increased number of stakeholders can complicate the management of a shared digital media repository, strategies such as hierarchical funding structures, means of ensuring transparent and equitable decision making, and a reliance on distributed skill sets can ensure a digital library project is successful for both partners and users.
