Case Study: Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage makes cultural heritage documentation publicly available with Fotoware DAM

Making cultural heritage documentation publicly available with DAM

The Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage needed a system to manage its ever-growing library of over a million cultural heritage visuals. Their challenge was to make these assets easily locatable for internal stakeholders and to select collections publicly available, moving away from inefficient physical files and local folders. They turned to the Fotoware Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution to address this.

By implementing Fotoware's DAM, the vendor provided a central system to store, manage, and share all digital assets. The solution enabled the creation of a public portal, kulturminnebilder.no, and used metadata and an open API for streamlined publishing. Fotoware made the organization more efficient by providing digital access and external sharing capabilities, successfully making thousands of images of Norway's cultural heritage available to the public.
