Abstract:The CLIR commissioned a survey of North American based digital cultural heritage initiatiaves (DCHIs) in 2002 to identify the scope, financing, organizational structure, and sustainability of DCHIs. The survey was the initial step in a larger effort aimed at developing recommendations for a coordinated strategy to sustain and strengthen digital cultural heritage initiatives. The Survey revealed a vast array of missions, services, programs, and products. Most DCHIs are membership organizations with foundations being the largest source of financial support for digital cultural initiatives. Many DCHIs are not in a sustainable state. Recommendations for sustainability include conducting needs assessments, improved training, clarification of missions, improved communications, and identifying stable repositories.
